Buchberg Castle Ruins (circular route)
Circular route around the Schlossberg. We start the route on Fortstraße in the Buchbergsiedlung (GPS: Forststr., 93413 Cham). It goes along a forest path above Buchbergsiedlung. We follow the hiking trail Ww7. Then it continues on a forest road and goes steeply uphill. We now circle the Großer Buchberg and after descending again via a path, we reach Geigen. Above the village, we continue to the right. After passing a small water wheel and a bench, it is not far and we change the marking. We now follow the path Ch2 and it continues on a forest road. After one kilometer, we see the crosses of a Way of the Cross. Here we take a detour up to the Schlossberg, where Buchberg Castle once stood. We simply follow the Way of the Cross. It goes steeply uphill and at the end of the path, we see the remains of the former castle. It must have been quite imposing. We circle it and descend the same way. Once down, we see again our first marking Ww7, which we now follow. It goes right on a forest road. After a good kilometer, we reach again our starting point in Buchbergsiedlung.
Quiet circular route with the highlight - the Buchberg Castle ruins!
