Eixendorfer Seeweg The circular route starts above the reservoir bridge at the hiking car park. We go to the bridge and descend via a staircase. There we turn left and start on a meadow path. Past a bathing beach, it doesn’t take long before the meadow path becomes a forest path and later a trail. This is really spectacular, it always runs along the shore, sometimes flat and sometimes quite steep over it. That’s a lot of fun. At the end of the Eixendorf reservoir, we cross a bridge over the Schwarzach and via the Wutz loop, we reach the old Neunburg - Rötz railway line. We then follow this for the next few kilometers. Below Gütenland, it continues on a nice path and trail again. This way, we circle the Eixendorf reservoir and soon reach the reservoir bridge again. Anyone wanting to shorten the route can return via the bridge to the hiking car park, saving about 2 km. We continue following the path and soon reach the dam; from here, it goes uphill again and after some time, we stand back at the starting point of our hike.  A really great hike around the lake, especially the trail on the north side is really spectacular!

    Schöne, aber auch anstrengende Tour. Gut ausgeschildert und man muss nicht immer aufs Handy schauen. Viele schöne Aussichten und auch einiges an Abenteuer.

    Recht kurz nach dem Start erreicht man bereits den Uferpfad entlang des Stausees, der etwas hoch und etwas runter über Stock und Stein führt. Dieser Wegabschnitt ist schön und abwechslungsreich. Ab ca. Kilometer 4,5 verlässt man dann das Ufer und läuft zunächst in Richtung der Ortschaft Stockarn und von dort weiter ein ganzes Stück entlang der Staatsstraße. Dieser Abschnitt ist vermutlich unvermeidlich, aber qualitativ natürlich enorm schlecht. Auch die weitere Wegstrecke nach Querung der Staatsstraße ist zunächst sehr uninteressant. Erst ab der Sattelhütte beginnt ein saftiger Anstieg hoch zur Steinernen Wand, die unbedingt sehenswert ist. Kurz darauf folgt mit der Burg ein weiteres Highlight als Abschluss der Tour. Hier kann, keine Höhenangst vorausgesetzt, auch der Turm kostenlos (freiwillige Spende) bestiegen werden. Insgesamt eine schöne Tour, die ich aber vermutlich nicht nochmal laufen würde. Vielmehr würde ich vom Wanderparkplatz aus direkt zur Steinernen Wand hochlaufen und von dort über die Burg dann wieder zurück. Die Tourenangaben sind im Übrigen stimmig. Allerdings hatte ich rd. 100 hm mehr und benötigte auch eher 4 Stunden statt 3,5.

    Nordseite traumhaft. Der Rückweg auf der Bahnlinie leider mit viel Radlern. Viel Auf und Ab am gesamten Weg. Anstrengend, aber lohnend.

    Tour am 28.09.2015, die Wanderung sind wir in entgegengesetzter Richtung ab dem Feriendorf Glasgarten gelaufen. Das erste Drittel ohne größere Highlights, danach erfolgte ein steiler Aufstieg durch den Wald zur Steinernen Wand. Man hat die Möglichkeit, diese auf einem einfachen Weg zu umgehen, jedoch empfehle ich den schwierigeren Felsweg zu gehen, es lohnt sich! Nach der Felswand kommt man zur Burgruine und nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt geht es Berg ab durch einen (Ur)Wald. Das letzte Teilstück ab Bauhof führt zuerst über einen Feldweg hinab zur rauschenden Schwarzach zum Ausgangspunkt Glasgarten. Die Tour ist beeindruckend und macht Lust auf mehr.
