September 27, 2023,Hirschbachschwelle – Hochschachten Runde von Buchenau

Impressive shaft hike. Started in Buchenau, via Lindbergschachten we went briefly to the Grenzbach, then continued over the Hirschbach threshold to Zwieselter Filz. There above the cabbage shafts, that was a beautiful area. We went back via the high shafts. The way back via forest paths, which are a bit long but doable.

Bavarian Forest, day 3. Moor hike, starting in Buchenau/hiking car park
The path to the moor is full of nature, rustic in places, but also lots of dead trees. Butterbur path. Good boardwalk on the moor. Great weather, very nice hike.
