Wolfstein/Youth Hostel - Auf der Au
Circular hike No. 12 in Wolfstein.
Easy hike from the DJH Wolfstein with gentle climbs, mostly forest paths.
Map or GPS only
Start is at the Youth Hostel in Wolfstein.
Without significant climbs, you reach a beautiful landscape pond above the Youth Hostel - the Poggrechweiher.
Shelters and benches invite you to rest.
Author’s recommendation
A detour to the Selberg Hut is definitely worthwhile.
Wolfstein with its small museums and the limestone mine should also be planned.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Safety information
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work, hunting parties, or the like on our hiking trails in the region on this platform.
However, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we were not informed.
Any hiker who walks through closed areas (barrier tape, "Caution Hunting" etc.), even on weekends, acts grossly negligently and is responsible for their own actions!
On natural paths, muddy and slippery sections can occur in adverse weather conditions.
Leaves, unevenness, roots, stones, and holes in the path are thus components of a natural forest path.
We recommend suitable footwear.
Tips and suggestions
Ideal hike for walks that prefer little elevation, or for families where the path is the goal. Beautiful views. Child-friendly, also with strollers.
