Directions

From the Eubabrunn parking lot, the hike leads along the forest road and at the edge of the forest to the Lohe Hütt'n. The yellow marking takes us further up to the border. From here, a 15-minute easy climb and in front of us lies the rock formation Hoher Stein. From the viewing platform, you can enjoy a wide view of the Vogtland, Bavarian, and Czech surroundings. The path continues northwards to the signpost for the Kegelberg ski area. In a few minutes, you reach the Hinterer Kegelberg and the mountain hut of the ski area. Following the yellow marking, the descent takes place, then via the cozy Forester's Path and the forest road back into the Eubabrunn valley and through the bungalow settlement back to the starting point.
