Beautiful hike with a great view of the Bohemian forest vacation area.
2.8 km Berghäusln. The Mühltalblickweg trail branches off here. Continue along trail no. 40, leaving the Adalbert Stifter Herberge above you and following a beautiful forest path to
4.5 km Oberhaag (836 m). Schwedenschanze - fortification, probably built in 1469. It was intended to protect against invasions by soldiers from Bohemia and Swedish troops. Above the Landhotel Haagerhof, turn right in the direction of Bayrische Au, follow a short stretch of field path that leads into a forest road and then into a forest path and after
7.0 km approx. three quarters of an hour you reach Iglbach-Doppelbrücke. The alluvial canal was restored to its original form at this point. Schauschwemmen take place here during the summer months. You can find out the dates at www.boehmerwald.at. Follow the alluvial canal for a short distance and turn right down the forest path. Now follow the beautiful forest paths towards Bayrische Au. Follow the signs and the red-white-red markings until you reach the
10.8 km Naturerlebnisweg Bayrische Au (720 m). The Bayrische Au is one of the oldest Šumava raised bogs and also the only spirken raised bog in Upper Austria. The Vltava reservoir reaches right up to the border here. A short distance back on the forest road and on to the
12.6 km tarmac road that leads from Oberhaag to the border. Continue left, after approx. 200 metres turn right again onto the forest road and after a short ascent you will reach the Schwemmkanalstraße again. Turn right here and you will come to the reconstructed
14.3 km Schrollenbach lock (800 m). Schauschwemmen in the summer months. After approx. 150 m you leave the canal. Turn left onto the forest road, which climbs slightly uphill and takes you to the
15.0 km division of the hiking trails Schwemmkanalrunde and Waldsteig after a short section of forest. Here you have the option of shortening the Waldsteig and hiking along the Schwemmkanalweg to Oberhaag and on to Aigen-Schlägl. Follow trail no. 40 and walk uphill through the beautiful high forest
18.0 km to Bärenstein (1077 m) with magnificent views of the Vltava reservoir and across the Bohemian Forest. Now it's a leisurely descent to
19.5 km Grünwald (950 m), a former woodcutters' settlement. Walk parallel to Bärensteinrunde no. 41 until you reach the crossroads in the forest. Take the path to the right and reach the
20.3 km Hochbuchet (920 m) - magnificent views. In the documents of Schlägl Abbey, it is reported that large pilgrimages took place here between 1762 and 1775. Continue downhill to the
20.9 km detour Liebesfelsen, which you can reach in 5 minutes and which is worthwhile because of the beautiful view to the west. Back again, follow the markings that lead you downhill, crossing several forest roads. Pass the robbers' cave, which is difficult to recognise in the dense bushes, and cross the asphalt road at the
22.4 km Bitterkapelle. A short diversions via the Waldsteig footpath (no. 43) is worthwhile because of the marvellous view of Aigen-Schlägl from the Calvary. If you stay on the Waldsteig trail, you will reach the starting point Aigen-Schlägl
