You get a particularly beautiful panoramic view at the Stoffelberg ridge path in Niedersonthofen. This themed hiking route is designed to be child- and family-friendly. Special information boards point out the typical features of the recreational landscape. Two springs on the southern slope are naturally enclosed with water stones. Children can have fun playing with two pools at the edge of the path. Themed boards indicate the special importance of the element water. At the same time, two lake wave benches invite visitors to linger. From Niedersonthofen at the church of St. Alexander uphill, over Stoffels to Stoffelberg (1063 m) and over the ridge further to Rieggis. Initially, you walk over meadows, then along a farm track, in the ridge area through the forest. From Rieggis, you return via the lower part of the Stoffelberg valley path back to the starting point. Boards along the way explain the themes of water, herbs, geology, and agriculture. On this return path, you pass by Stoffelberg Alpe near the end.
Author’s recommendation
Take a small detour to Stoffelberg Alpe (no catering!), where from early May to early September you can purchase delicious raw milk cheese from horned cows in Demeter quality as well as sour cream butter. Parking at the Alpenblick inn, from here 5 min. walk to the Alpe.

The route starts at the tourist information in Niedersonthofen and first passes by the church of St. Alexander. At the road junction to Rieggis, you will already find the first orientation signs. At first, follow the road uphill; you quickly continue over meadows and later on a farm track towards the sky. In the ridge area, the path goes through the forest. Here, signs repeatedly indicate the direction. Coming out of the forest, the path leads toward the district of Rieggis; now it goes downhill. From Rieggis, you return via the lower part of the Stoffelberg valley path to the starting point. Boards along the way explain the themes of water, herbs, geology, and agriculture. On this return path, you pass Stoffelberg Alpe near the end.
