Route description Panoramaweg Yspertal

From Ysper, a stretch along the Herzsteinweg – to noteworthy, region-typical farmsteads with their own farm names (here it is customary to know families by their house names) – along the hiking route: Obergrub, Gerechtslehen, Linden, Nussbichl, Überländ, Stein, Weyretzberg, Rapoltsberg, Wegenstein, Hoffeld. Near the transmitter (transmission mast at the Wegenstein house) we reach the highest point of the panorama hike (besides many other great viewpoints). A historical attraction is the Wimburg ruin, just before the Ysperklamm. In the 13th century, it served as a widow’s residence for Queen Agnes; the tower and masonry of the castle are well preserved. At the Forellenhof at the entrance to the Ysperklamm, we reach the end of the hike and can, after a refreshment, explore the Ysperklamm or take the return route to Yspertal.
