CHANGES: On our tour: 2026.09.06. LAINSITZ - WEITRA RUNDE from Frauenwieserteich - Repeat https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/3263051399 we saw that the railway crossing has been slightly relocated and equipped with a signal system. In memory of past times, I want to leave the old spot and the photos as they were created - it's only a few meters.

The route from/to Hirschenwies is a beautiful forest section on gravel, slightly uphill to the small border crossing in the middle of the forest.

The Nebelstein is a wonderful destination with a panoramic view on a bike/MTB tour. The route between the parking lot and the hut up/down can be easily ridden with an MTB, but on days with heavy visitor traffic, it's better to go on foot.
