A leisurely hike awaits you in and around the village of Krumbach.

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.
