The village of Eisenärzt spreads across the Hörgering high plateau, from where views open up over the Chiemgau mountains. The hiking trails associated with Hörgering differ in their starting points, destinations and terrain. These features provide a practical basis for choosing the area for your stay.

Hiking from Different Starting Points

The marked circular Route No. 26 along the Zwicklinger Höhenweg climbs to Hörgering and continues to Gschwendt. It is suitable for families with children. The Hörgering Loop starts at the hiking car park in Hörgering, heading towards the Zinnkopf, and follows forest paths at the foot of the Zinnkopf to Höpfling. This distinction is useful when choosing a tour: Hörgering lies along the way to Gschwendt on the Zwicklinger Höhenweg, while the Hörgering Loop starts at the hiking car park. The suitability for families with children applies to the Zwicklinger Höhenweg.

The Traunauen Trail to Ruhpolding runs from Eisenärzt through Hörgering to Ruhpolding. On the section from Hörgering towards Vordermiesenbach, a somewhat steeper hill on the left can be bypassed via a forest road. The route is also suitable for strollers, as it follows improved forest roads and asphalt roads. If you are travelling with a stroller, check the surface conditions locally. The route towards Ruhpolding and the described detour provide further points of reference for planning this tour.

Getting Around by E-Bike

The Adelholzener and Ice Age Loop E-Bike Tour passes through Hörgering. There, it crosses a federal highway and a bridge to the western bank of the Weiße Traun. If you would like to include an e-bike leg in your stay, this gives you a separate route option alongside the hiking trails, with two specifically named crossings as points of reference.

The Hörgering playground is in Gschwendt, 83313 Siegsdorf.

In the Wider Siegsdorf Destination

The Höpfling Loop runs along the Traun in Siegsdorf. It is an easy hike, particularly suitable for toddlers and strollers, and offers several opportunities to get directly to the river. As route conditions can change, check the trail conditions before setting off. The accessible SteinZeitGarten is in the centre of Siegsdorf. The Siegsdorf mammoth is considered the most complete and best-preserved mammoth skeleton in Europe.

Route Information and Finding Accommodation

For families with children, the explicitly stated suitability of the Zwicklinger Höhenweg is a useful point of reference; for strollers, it is the suitability of the Traunauen Trail and the trail surfaces described there.
