Hiking

Holzhausweg (Wooden House Path)

Length 5.9 km
Signpost No. 4

The route takes you past the football pitch. After crossing the Flinzbach (brook) bear off to the right through the so-called Mühlholz. After a short distance on the road you pass the houses of Holzhaus and go again through the forest. A farm track at the edge of the forest leads to Aschersdorf. You can safely return to Kalkenried on the footpath alongside the road.

Waldkapellenweg (Forest Chapel Path)

Length 6.2 km
Signpost No. 5

The route runs along the road to Bärmannsreid as far as the Totenbretten (death boards), swings round to the right and leads up to a hill with a splendid view. It continues through the forest (there are forest information signs along the route) and comes to a forest chapel (built 150 years ago). Proceed past a property and you reach the most spectacular viewpoint at the edge of the forest looking out over Teisnach, Geiersthal, Altnußberg and Fernsdorf (end of the forest information path 2.8 km). From here you return back through the forest to Aschersdorf (another splendid view) and along the path beside the road to Kaikenried.

Forststrasse Regenufer (Forest and bank of the river Regen path)

Length 10.3 km
Signpost No. 16

The route takes you along the road to Bärmannsdorf (this is also possible along the path signposted no. 2) past the sawmill and into the forest. Once in the forest you leave all civilization behind you for around 7 km. The way leads through the woods on the banks of the Regen down to the river and proceeds on to the small town of Altenmais. From here take the almost traffic free road back to Kaikenried.

Berliner Kreuz (Berlin Cross)

Length 2.7 km
Signpost No. 19

At the beginning this route is identical with route no. 2 until you reach the upper edge of the forest. Turn right into the forest and after a steep incline you arrive at the “Berliner Kreuz” (a 5m high cross on the mountain close to the village). The forest path leads to the Altenmais road and back into the village.
