November 13, 2025, Bridge Over the Traunbach

That's not the deer watering hole; that's much further up in the forest. That's the bridge over the Traunbach stream.

A beautiful hiking trail, some of it cross-country. Unfortunately, the forest doesn't look very healthy.

Cool stream crossing, but beginners should definitely push their bike over it.

Beautiful bridge over a beautiful creek. A little further up there is a hiking car park and the command bunker Börfink, called Erwin. Unfortunately, most of the forest around the bridge has been cut down. The national park suffers greatly from bark beetle infestation. In the core of the NSG, the trees simply leave them standing. However, they are felled at the edge to avoid spreading to the economic forest.
