Kupferplatte - Schönbuchen Circular Route
Today's circular route starts at the hiking car park between Kröblitz and Hammerhof (GPS: Hammerhofer Weg, 92431 Neunburg/OT: Kröblitz). We follow the "Warbergweg" trail marking and walk a few meters along a road, then continue uphill on forest paths. After about 1.5 km and 120 meters ascent, we reach the Kupferplatte with a beautiful view down into the Murn Valley. From here, we continue following the "Copper Circle" or "To the Goldsteig" markings. Now we walk along a really nice path on the hillside. On the right, it goes steeply down into the Murn Valley. That's fun. At the end of the forest, we reach the Goldsteig trail, which we now follow to the left towards the Schönbuchen pilgrimage chapel. A mystical place. Many thousands of pilgrims come here every year to find comfort and help. Now we return on the same path and follow the Goldsteig trail to the end of the route. After we are back on a forest path, we reach the Teufelsgraben and from here it goes continuously downhill to the Schwarzach river. We follow this river to the end of the route.
Lovely small circular hike with many highlights.
