The loop walk dedicated to writer Viktor von Scheffel (1820-1884) is an often narrow path close to town with very nice views of Reit im Winkl and the surrounding mountains.

Tour description:
This leisurely walk begins at the parish church of St. Pankratius, which invites you to a "contemplative" stop, then follow the signs to the Kriegerkapelle chapel and the barefoot park with Kneipp basins. A place to take a deep breath and relax for all ages. Whether you sit under a tree or take off your shoes.
Now we head to one of the most beautiful vantage points, the Kriegerkapelle chapel. From here a narrow path, the Viktor von Scheffelsteig (poet and painter) leads to Augustenruh, another vantage point. Here you take the easy switchbacks downhill to the Protestant mountain church, a special feature of our place that wants to be visited.
Via the beautiful Augustensteig, named after Dr. August Oberweiler (1896-1902), pioneer of tourism, it goes back to the water lily pond at the barefoot park. Rest for a moment at the Grünbühel, as this beautiful place is called here, before you go back to the starting point.
Refreshments can be found in town.
