Buchberger Leite
There and back through one of the most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria. From Ringelai, we follow the hiking trail "Red 1." It goes over beautiful paths to the suspension bridge over the Wolfsteiner Ohe. Rooty and rocky paths lead us to the carbide plant. From here, we follow the marking "Red 3." Through the rock tunnel, we reach another beautiful section of the Buchberger Leite. The rock walls rise up to 100 meters above us. Past the Three Waterfalls, we reach the confluence of the Reschbach and the Saußbach, from which the Wolfsteiner Ohe originates. We pass the Augustin Kanzel and reach the Saußbach Reservoir. Here we turn around and return along the same path. The Buchberger Leite is so beautiful that it is worth enjoying it from the other perspective on the way back.
TOP route, one of the most beautiful in the Bavarian Forest.

The Buchberger Leite wild brook gorge, which is under landscape protection, between Freyung and Ringelai is one of the most impressive canyon landscapes in the Bavarian Forest. Initially separately, then together, the wild waters of Saußbach and Reschbach fight their way through the gorge and finally unite to form the Wolfsteiner Ohe, which flows into the Ilz near Fürsteneck.
Running through the gorge is the eight-kilometer-long thematic hiking trail "Man and Nature in the Buchberger Leite". Along the route, information boards provide interesting and worthwhile facts about this geotope, allowing you to experience the unique charm of the gorge.
Those who do not wish to walk back can use bus line 101 "Perlesreut - Ringelai - Freyung" for the return journey.
