Snowshoe tour along Flanitz river

Stages:
Klingenbrunn Bahnhof - Althütte - Flanithütte - Linden - Klingenbrunn Bahnhof

Tour description:
We start our snowshoe tour in Klingenbrunn Bahnhof, where one can ideally take the train for travelling to the starting point of the tour. First, we follow the marking ‘Rüsselkäfer’ (Weevil) to Althütte. On a narrow path we walk through the forest, before we meet a street after a while. We follow the street for a short time until we already arrive in the small village of Althütte. From here, you have nice views to the summit of Rachel and the surrounding forests. We continue following the ‘Rüsselkäfer’ (Weevil) on snowy forest paths towards Flanitzhütte.
 
At another crossroads, we follow the marking ‘Trans Bayerwald’ straight and soon, we reach Flanitzhütte. This small village is part of the village of Spiegelau and is located directly at the Flanitz river which we cross on a small bridge. Afterwards we turn right, still following the marking ‘Trans Bayerwald’. Now, we walk uphill on easy and comfortable paths along the Flanitz river. Later, we walk through an underpassing of the railway and get to a crossroads.
 
Here, we keep right and follow the ‘Nationalpark-Radweg’ (National Park Cycle Path) which brings us back to Klingenbrunn Bahnhof. We reach a railway crossing, but instead of crossing the tracks we turn left into the forest.
 
Now, we follow the ‘Spitzmaus’ (Shrew) and walk through Flanitzebene. From time to time we can discover traces of beavers along the path. Finally, we reach the village Klingenbrunn Bahnhof where we started our tour.

Correct on the go – all the time:

• Beware of falling trees and deadwood! The use of the path is at your own risk. At strong wind please leave the forest for safety reasons!
• Path regulations in order to protect endangered plants and animals in certain areas of the national park
• Please do not leave any trash! Dog poop bags or handkerchiefs do not belong in nature either. Please help to keep our wild forest clean. Thank you!

Always ensure to have good equipment: card, sturdy shoes, something to drink, first aid kit, bad weather clothing

Long, but technically easy snowshoe tour mainly on broad paths.
Surface conditions: 1,3 kilometers cleared, 0,4 kilometers compacted, 9,5 kilometers without winter service.
Please respect cross-country skiers and don't step in the ski tracks!
