Discover Langfurth: Skiing, Snowshoe Loop and Forest Trail

The four-kilometre snowshoe loop around Steinberg offers a different perspective on the winter landscape. It starts at the hiking car park in Langfurth. Unlike the ski runs, this is a circular route, so you can set aside time to enjoy the walk. Winter conditions may vary, so it is worth checking the situation before setting out.

Forest Trail and Getting Around

The Sonnenwald adventure trail is a forest experience with ten stations, designed especially for children and families. A signposted access path leads there from Langfurth. Steep sections do not rule out using a stroller: the trail is accessible with a stroller. This makes it easy to include a visit to the forest attraction in your plans without treating the route as simply a ski run or snowshoe tour.

You can drive directly to the “Jackl” hiking car park above Langfurth and park there. Check local conditions before you travel. Buses can turn around at the car park; a designated bus parking area is located at the public car park by the fire station in Langfurth. If you are arriving by bus, you can take this parking option into account when planning your trip.
