Eggelsberger Waldweg

From Eggelsberg we walk or drive about half a kilometre on the road leading to Mattighofen to the entrance to the forest. There is a small car park for cars.
The start of the forest path is clearly signposted.

Coming from Eggelsberg, the path begins on the right-hand side of the forest entrance and ends there again.
Hikers are advised to visit the nearby Teufelweiher pond after about 50 steps to the left on a track. This small pond, surrounded by forest, was formed after the last ice age and is a geological feature. Locals can also tell of strange incidents in ancient times.
The hiking trail now leads us through a young forest near the edge of the forest and then climbs quite steeply through the high forest. The path bends just before reaching the hill.
We now make a short detour to the edge of the forest. Here we have a wonderful view of the hilly foothills of the Alps and can admire the mountain panorama from the Dachstein to the Zugspitze on a clear day.
A display board explains how our landscape was formed. Here we are at one of the most beautiful and interesting viewing points in the region and a bench invites you to linger. Back to the marked path - this now leads into a forest path that takes us to the long ridge (moraine hill). We follow the markings and walk through a largely unspoilt copper beech forest with some beautiful views of the rural cultural landscape and return to the starting point of our hike.
