Themed hikes Schmugglerweg Klobenstein

On the Klobenstein smugglers' trail, a lot has been stolen together: some of the gorge landscape from Verdon, some of the lovely mountain landscape of the lowlands, a little bit of Bavaria and a little bit of Tyrol. The stolen goods can be experienced in hiking tours of different lengths lasting up to three hours.

Description

The starting point is the Kössen Information Office. From there, head to the roundabout, where you’ll find the starting sign for the Schmugglerweg. Starting from the roundabout, take the second street past the alpine dairy into Mühlbachweg. The trail then leads through the underpass beneath the federal highway and continues over the Staffen Bridge. After about 200 m, turn right and follow the yellow hiking markers. The trail runs briefly along the Großache River. Via the Teufelsstiege, you’ll reach the Schmugglerweg, which you’ll follow to the Klobenstein Inn. Here, a loop trail takes you across two massive suspension bridges, through the Entenlochklamm gorge, and back to the sacred site of the Maria Klobenstein pilgrimage church. From here, you can hike the rest of the Schmugglerweg all the way to Schleching. Return via the same route to the starting point.

The trail is not suitable for strollers and is only accessible in summer; furthermore, cycling is strictly prohibited!
