View of Schloss Burgk and Eisbrücke

Highlight • Viewpoint

The way is now blocked by a grid. Reason: A 2m wide section of the path was destroyed by falling rocks.

The footbridge leads around the Kobersfelsen directly on the water. It is really a wonderful hiking trail. If you have time, take a short detour up the Kobersfelsen. From up there you have a great view.

After a long break, I laced up my hiking boots and headed off to Gräfenwarth. Behind the village, a path leads uphill until you get a wonderful view of Burgk Castle from "high" up.
A really nice, new viewing platform has been built here, where you can linger.
The path now goes down the mountain, first gently, then more steeply, …

Unfortunately, the hanging path has been closed since spring 2023 after a rockfall. The bypass that is on komoot was too adventurous for me (neck and leg break tour) so I changed my route

Right at the beginning of this hike, it goes down through the forest in serpentines to the Saale.
Once at the bottom, turn right and after a few meters you will be greeted by a view of an island in the reservoir. Due to the low water level, this island can be seen.
