Description

The challenging northern variant of the famous Goldsteig leads from Thanstein over the 1000-meter peaks of the Bavarian Forest along the Bohemian border to Passau and crosses, among other places, the Bavarian Forest National Park. It is a premium route that crosses both Germany and Austria, while also bringing you to the Czech border. The route is very well marked, full of history and crosses beautiful mountain peaks, stone fields as well as lakes and waterfalls.
