Those who enjoy a relaxed hike on the wonderful, extensive country lanes around Krumbach should not miss out on the Himmelssteig. The municipal parking lot in the town center, which is also the start and end point of the route, is the ideal place to park. From there, you follow mostly leisurely country lanes to Seisbühel. There are three small, idyllic chapels along the way. You also pass a wooded area where the Place of Silence awaits visitors. This means that everyone can find the relaxation they are looking for, and in summer in particular, the forest offers the necessary protection from the sun. For those interested, the hiking trail ends at the Krumbach museum village, which invites you to linger. The loop ends at the municipal parking lot in the town center.

Preparation
Make sure that the chosen route suits your mountain experience and fitness. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather can change surprisingly quickly in the mountains. Always start out accordingly equipped (e.g. rain protection).
Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit on the way are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and your planned return before you set off.
Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes appropriate for the route, bring sun and rain protection as well as water and a small snack. Take your mobile phone and save the emergency numbers for rescue services: rescue 144 / mountain rescue 140
The starting point of the hike is the municipal car park in Krumbach at the Promenade. From there, the path leads left over Marktstraße to Schrammelgasse, which again turns left. Kirchschlager Straße is crossed, and then the route is on Königseggstraße. Following the road, the route passes the Gasthaus Krumbacherhof and leads through a small residential area before turning right onto the field path that leads to the paved road. Past the Holzbauer Chapel, it continues along the road to the Wagenhofer Chapel, where the route turns left and continues towards "Himmelsteig hike - Museumsdorf." The path continues along the road until a farmhouse, below which the route passes. At the end of the field path, it goes straight up over the field, at the lookout stand the route turns right into the forest path. This path is followed to the junction where the route turns right to the Museumsdorf and left along the cycle path back to the municipal car park.
