Bayerwald trail

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bayerwaldloipe is a long-distance skiing trail in the Bavarian Forest . The trail begins in the Osser area near Lohberg and ends in Neureichenau in the Dreisessel area . It is made up of cross-country trails for the individual ski resorts and connecting pieces; some gaps must be covered on foot. The total length is approximately 140 km. Since the cross-country ski trail partly runs through quite deep areas (Zwiesel 582 m), it is only considered snow-sure in high winter.

course

Due to a number of sections with a one-way regulation, the Bayerwaldloipe can only be used in one direction, from northwest to southeast.

The entrance at the cross-country skiing center is on the Lam - Bayerisch Eisenstein bus line . Further to the north-west it is possible to start in Eggersberg near Lam (red marked trail to Scheiben, difficult); this allows the total distance to be extended by 9 km.
