Selected alternatives for you
    A typical "Bavarian Forest route" to one of the 8 thousand-meter peaks. Ascent from Lohberg first to the Osser summit, then always along the Czech border to Zwercheck and descent to Scheibe (parking lot). Character: Mostly in the forest, luckily Kyrill created viewpoints through windthrow in 2007!

    Roadbook

    We parked our car at Scheibe parking lot and actually wanted to hitchhike to Lohberg at the starting point. Unfortunately, not a single driver stopped and the bus only ran 1 ½ hours later (departure times 9:42 a.m. and 11:42 a.m.). Therefore, we rode our bikes down the road, 6 ½ km all downhill! Then on foot from the signposted Osser parking lot on a marked forest trail to the summit of the Großer Osser, 1,293 m. Only just before the summit is rock secured with a railing.

    From the summit, views to the Hohenbogen, the Arber, and especially to the Osser shelter, located 30 m below. Recommended stop there!

    Then about 10 minutes back along the ascent path to two information boards, and then always following the countless white poles along the border to the southeast. Masses of well-bearing blueberry bushes prevent fast progress! The endpoint is marked by a roughly 3 m high stone amid windthrow, with 1,334 m the highest point of the hike. Shortly after, an information board at the site where the Juranek hut stood. Shortly after, the path bends right down; the highest point (1,343 m) is still about 1 km away, but a sign prohibits entering the nature reserve.

    Now it goes quickly down next to a small stream to a forest road, on it slightly ascending to the right to another forest highway and back to the car at the Scheibe parking lot.

    The rather leisurely walking times with photo and berry-picking breaks: bike ride down 15 min., ascent Lohberg - summit 1h20, transition to Zwercheck 3 hours, descent to parking lot 40 min. Pure total walking time (moving according to GPS) 4 hours. With all breaks and a cozy stop at the Osser shelter, it will certainly be 6 hours!
