Hiker’s paradise – Landshuter Höhenwanderweg

The Landshuter Höhenwanderweg has been a hiking gem in the heart of Bavaria for over 10 years. This scenic hiking route offers nature lovers and adventure seekers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, historical scenery and recreation.

The network of very well developed hiking trails of the Landshuter Höhenweg comprises about 128 kilometers. It is suitable both for sporty day tours and for short leisurely family walks. One can choose the starting point freely, also combine the main trail with circular routes and put together the length of the tour oneself.
The free hiking map of the Landshut High Altitude Trail, which can be obtained from the Tourist-Info in the town hall, is highly recommended for planning excursions. It also provides information on how to get there by car or public transport.

The Landshut High Hiking Trail always offers nice places to stop for refreshments along the entire route: in Buch, Niedererlbach, Kronwinkl, Viecht, Tiefenbach, Landshut, Niederaichbach, Hüttenkofen. One can rest and strengthen oneself, enjoy the local cuisine and get into conversation with other hikers.

The Landshuter Höhenweg repeatedly offers unique views of the Isar, which meanders gently through the landscape and contributes to the serenity of the mind.
The local history museum in Niederaichbach, on the other hand, shows the Isar as an important traffic route.
It provides information about the history of timber floating and the trade in wood, stones, wine, olive oil and other goods. In Landshut itself, absolute excursion highlights are the Basilica of St. Martin and the proud and imposing Trausnitz Castle, from which one can enjoy a unique view of the city of Landshut and its surrounding countryside. These few examples show the interesting diversity of the Landshut Höhenwanderweg.

A special tip for families is the LA4 circular hiking trail starting from „Bürgermeister-Zeiler-Straße in Landshut“. The approx. 7 km long route takes about 2 hours to walk through the nature reserve „Ehemaliger Standortübungsplatz Landshut mit Isarleite“. This unique nature reserve in the town of Landshut, which covers around 280 hectares, is known for its rich variety of wild bees and amphibian species. Hikers are presented with a truly varied landscape. The 149 meters in altitude can also be easily mastered with a baby carriage. There are also informative information boards, nature trails and refreshment stops along the way.

If one wants to take a closer look at the history of settlement in the Landshut area, this 45-minute walk (over 2.5 kilometers, without any significant incline) is highly recommended. It offers not only informative panels on this topic, but also a wonderful view over the Isar valley to Moosburg.
The starting point is the Bergweg parking lot in Niedererlbach.  From there one can walk along the Bergweg (display board „Celtic manor house“) to the hill (display board „Roman villa“), further to the Bachstraße (display board „Village history“) and to the Moosburger Straße (display boards „Roman highway“, „Roman mausoleum“, „Celtic burial ground“) and back to the starting point. This short hike offers breathtaking panoramic views and leads through enchanting forests, rolling hills and quiet meadows. The soothing sounds of rustling leaves, chirping birds and the expansive view of the Bavarian countryside enchant the hiker.

The Landshuter Höhenwanderweg is a testament to the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Bavaria. The charm of this Lower Bavarian hiking area, its historical sights and charming villages are unique. Let yourself be enchanted and enjoy the diverse excursion possibilities of the Landshuter Höhenwanderweg!
