October 4, 2024,Nix für Flip Flop Geher, Schuhfleck 2024-10-04/101

Started with no precipitation, according to the app. Strange, what was that constant moisture from above?... definitely high humidity! This accompanied us throughout the entire round, sometimes more, sometimes less humid.
The advantage of the weather, hardly any public traffic and there are also parking spaces. In cozy solitude we fought our way up to the Schopf, an oxygen tent …

February 22, 2025,Hirschenstein 🦌🪨 & Mühlgraben

Last winter hike ❄️ of this season: the high-altitude trails are still covered in ice and technical equipment is very helpful for the tour up the Hirschenstein. The wild streams have not yet freed themselves of their ice at an altitude of 1000m. It is super beautiful on the Hirschenstein when the sun ☀️ shines down like it is today! …

July 18, 2022,Rundweg: Kostenz - Schopf - Mühlgraben - Hirschenstein

A nice round, which is about 3/4 shaded, so that you can also do the tour in the sun.
It is a beautiful path in the forest, hardly any paved paths. You can save yourself the short detour at around 6.5 to 7.5 kilometers if you take the right path straight away. 🙃
It's nice to walk with a dog …

The tour is exclusively in the shade and semi-shade. This makes it ideal even in blazing sun. Varied and informative. The highlight of the Hirschenstein with a fabulous view. I also noticed positively that there were no dead spruce trees to be seen. The bark beetle hasn't struck here yet. Very surprising if you have seen parts of the federal …

May 29, 2026,Über den Wasserkanal-Weg zum Hirschenstein

Today I was out alone. I drove to Grandsberg and started my hike to Hirschenstein from there. The day ticket for the hiking parking lot cost a fair €2 and you can pay with a card. From the parking lot, it went straight up to the "Schopf", the 1st of 3 peaks. From there it went on to Kostenz, with …

Today, a 7-person Meet5 hiking group went to Grandsberg. From there, we hiked to the picturesque water channel path and then on to the Hirschenstein, with its observation tower. After a break, we made our way back and hiked via the Mühlgrabenweg along a small stream back to the starting point of our tour. To finish, we stopped at the …
