This wonderful winter hiking trail leads cross-country across the deep snow-covered Abtenau winter landscape.
Parallel to the Egelsee cross-country ski trail, the winter hiking trail runs across meadows and fields with a constant view of the mighty Tennengebirge mountains. Despite slight ascents, the hiking trail is universally popular and possible for everyone.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The winter hiking trail leads slightly uphill from the start and crosses a road. In slightly undulating terrain, the trail continues to the scenically beautiful Egelsee lake, from there to the edge of the forest, continuing on a somewhat steeper ascent to the former Fliehhofbauer country inn. In a long loop, the trail leads past the Wimmwaldsiedlung (housing estate). From here you have a wonderful view of Abtenau and the backdrop of the Tennengebirge mountains - pure Alpine cinema! The trail descends slightly to the starting point.
