At this beautiful spot, the summit of the „Hohe Dirn“, I would like to recommend a short thought from Peter Rosegger (1843-1918) to the (mountain) hiker: „When you are exhausted, seek new strength in the heights of the mountains, where you can be closest to God and yourself – and where Mother Earth most strongly radiates her beneficial power.“

Before the cross crowning the summit of the Hirschwaldstein here, I would like to offer the viewer a short quote from the Italian writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968). In one of the wonderfully told episodes about the two protagonists he created, 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone', which are widely read far beyond the author's homeland, the quarrelsome priest became indignant about certain nocturnal activities of 'the Reds'. He calls them vipers that one crushes, and talks about how, as is his habit, he talks with the crucified Christ at the high altar. From Him, he receives the following answer: "When my Father created the world, he distinguished very precisely between animals and humans. That means that humans always remain humans... and that consequently they are to be treated as humans. If that were not the case, would it not have been easier to destroy them instead of coming down to Earth to redeem them by having myself crucified?" (Source: "The Strafexpedition" by G. Guareschi)

For the last stretch to the summit, it's better to leave the bike behind, then you won't have to struggle unnecessarily. Even riding back is only fun for enduro enthusiasts, and avoiding hikers is almost impossible.
