Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

In Forchach, cross the romantic suspension bridge and continue left along the forest path to the bridge over the Schwarzwasserbach stream. Immediately after the bridge, turn right and walk along the wide forest path, past a beautiful shepherd's hut, approx. 10 km into the valley. At the end of the valley, follow signpost no. 427. The steep path leads you over rocky terrain to the Balkenscharte and then on to the Prinz Luitpold Haus.
