    Easy but unmarked mountain hike, mostly on forest roads, leading to the wonderful lookout hill Imitzberg (1,298 m). Due to the shortness of the route, it is also worth including the wooded Tannberg (1,282 m).

    Author’s recommendation

    This route is perfect for late autumn when there is no snow yet but the air is crystal clear.

    Safety information

    The route is technically very easy; the main challenge is orientation. You need this route description and additionally either a hiking map or a GPS device with a downloaded GPS track.

    Roadbook

    We start the ascent at the road junction in the hamlet of Fahrenberg (Winkl). First, we hike just a few meters uphill to the left on a road; at the no-entry sign, we take the pull path and follow it to the highest house in Fahrenberg. Attention: The path splits several times and there are new forest roads not yet shown on the map. It is best to always take the steepest, often oldest/primitive path to reach the described house reasonably quickly. Of course, it is also possible to simply follow the access road and reach the house in a big loop.

    From here we walk flat on the tractor path across a meadow, past a spring catchment, always slightly uphill until we reach a wide forest road. On this road, past a hunting hut, to the large crossroads in front of the Pramfelder Reith (approx. 1,070 m).

    Here we turn left and follow this forest road steadily uphill to a high seat in front of a large wood storage/turnaround place.

    Here begins a primitive pull path, which we follow to its end and then head off-trail (about 50 vertical meters) through sparse high forest to another forest road.

    On this forest road to the right up to a distinctive left bend. There again begins a pull path, which we ascend to its highest point. Now just a few minutes off-trail through young woods to the highest point of Imitzberg (1,298 m). As the summit is a plateau, finding the actual highest point is a slight challenge.

    Since the view from the summit is very limited because of the young forest, it is worth continuing to the northwestern rocky sub-peak, from which you can enjoy an absolutely stunning 360° panoramic view.

    Descent as ascent to the Pramfelder Reith, but now continue straight on a forest road, turn right at the first crossroads and at the following two crossroads turn left each time, then follow the road to its end.

    Now a simple pull path leads in a few minutes to the right to the summit of the Tannberg (1,282 m). Here, too, the 'summit' is actually a plateau, but in this case a densely forested high area.

    Return to the Pramfelder Reith as ascent, descending now always on the forest or access road to Fahrenberg.
