One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Lasberg leads to the "Höllfall", an impressive waterfall that pours over rocks and offers a breathtaking sight. The path there leads through dense forests and past small streams - a true oasis of peace and closeness to nature. This route is particularly popular with families with children as it is relatively easy to complete.
Another highlight is the "Drei-Burgen-Runde" hikes around Lasberg. This tour allows hikers to explore three castle ruins from the Middle Ages: Riedegg Castle, Reichenstein Castle and Weinberg Castle.

The best season for hiking in Lasberg is undoubtedly summer, when the temperatures are pleasantly warm and nature is in full bloom. However, autumn is also a great time for a hike to experience the colourful play of colours in the forests.
