Historical and nature hiking trail to the Hohenwaldeck ruins

We start at the southern end of Schliersee in the district of Fischhausen. Shortly after leaving the village, behind the Schnapperwirt inn, the hiking trail begins upwards to the Hohenwaldeck ruins. We follow the signs and head uphill over a meadow into the forest. There, a path branches off to the right after about 200 meters, which we continue to follow uphill. The path winds over roots up to the freshly restored ruins, from where we enjoy the view over Schliersee and the surrounding mountains. Those wishing to hike directly back to the starting point from the ruins follow the ascent path back down to the valley. For a longer descent, we follow the trail further north. It continues through the forest towards Schliersee until we reach Oberleiten across a pasture. From there, the path leads down on the paved road to the lakeshore. The way back to the starting point can now be walked along the lake or alternatively taken by train from Schliersee to Neuhaus. 

We recommend sturdy footwear and possibly poles. Please remember provisions, mobile phone, change of clothes, and a first aid kit.
