Osser-Riesen-Steig

The starting point is the parking lot in Lambach. From there, follow the marked hiking trail La3 on an asphalted path to the cast-iron Madonna (you will pass a few stops along the way on the Holzweg, a nature trail). When you reach the statue of the Virgin Mary, turn right and follow the signs for La3. Next to the telephone line supported by wooden poles, the stony hiking trail runs steadily uphill until you meet hiking trail La1 at a crossroads. Both hiking trails now run together for a while, past the Teufelstritt (rock with carved signs) to a wood storage area. The La3 markings lead to the right towards Osserwiese. There you have a panoramic view of the Bavarian Forest mountains, from the Kleiner Osser, over the eight thousand-meter peaks from the Großer Arber to the Eck, Riedlstein and Kaitersberg to the Hohenbogen. At the end of the Osser meadow, you can choose the narrow, uphill path over the Kleiner Osser or the shorter and easier path past the Künische Kapelle, where the two paths meet again. The Große Osser is in sight at the signpost tree with the signposts. Past the Lam mountain rescue hut, the ascent begins over the rocky summit ridge to the Großer Osser (1293m). After a refreshment stop at the Osserschutzhaus, you return to Lambach along the same route.
