Durch Berg und Tal

From the train station in Huglfing, the route initially follows a flat path along the railroad tracks in a north-westerly direction. However, the steep ascent through the Oberhausen district of Berg soon begins and only ends at St. Michael's Church, which towers high above the surrounding countryside. Here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Hoher Peißenberg. Between Berg and Huglfing, a first-class panoramic route awaits walkers. The path leads directly towards the Bavarian Alps, always slightly downhill - past the pilgrimage church of St. Johann - into the village. Barely used asphalt roads now lead hikers along idyllic meadows and moorland to the west before making a small loop across open fields back to Oberhausen.
