Details for: Warzensteinweg
Brief descriptionHiking trail No. 6 in Harmanschlag
The natural monument of the Warzenstein, located on the southeast slope of the Bärenstein, irresistibly captivates every visitor. Far from any human dwelling, in the middle of a rocky natural theater, there is a stone natural basin that is constantly filled with water. Not only the power attributed to the water in the basin to remove warts makes this place interesting; the entire location and arrangement of the stones may evoke thoughts of a place for cultic practices of an archaic culture.

Route description Warzensteinweg
The hike begins at the village square in Harmanschlag. The path leads downhill through the village on path 74, before the Waaghäus`l you turn right towards Edlau. From there you walk about 15 minutes until the road forks and you turn right onto path 6. You follow this path until you reach another fork. You continue straight until you get to a barrier and the dirt road begins. Until the Warzenstein, you walk only along the forest road. Even in summer temperatures, an ideal hiking trail, as the trees provide sufficient shade.
You continue hiking along the path, after the third hairpin turn, you climb right up to the Warzenstein.
