Nice trail running route with a good training effect. Not really recommended for hiking, unless you like 15 km of forest road. Travel from Munich is easy by train & bus (hourly). The first 10 km (T1 forest road) then to Heimgarten and the crossing (T2) finally over the bridle path (T1 forest road) to Urfeld. (self-tracked)

Beautiful scenic trail running or dog trekking tour.
With, I would say, the most beautiful ridge hike in the Bavarian pre-Alps.From Herzogstand to Heimgarten. And because that’s not enough yet, it goes further to Hirschberg and then after a short dry spell over forest paths back to the car via beautiful trails
