Refreshment points at the National Park Centre Lusen and in Waldhäuser (Please check opening hours in advance).

Correct on the go – all the time:

• Beware of falling trees and deadwood! The use of the path is at your own risk. At strong wind please leave the forest for safety reasons!
• Path regulations in order to protect endangered plants and animals in certain areas of the national park
• Please do not leave any trash! Dog poop bags or handkerchiefs do not belong in nature either. Please help to keep our wild forest clean. Thank you!

Always ensure to have good equipment: card, sturdy shoes, something to drink, first aid kit, bad weather clothing

To return from Waldhäuser to Mauth, you can easily take the Igelbus (see public transportation information).

The ‘Steinpilz (Boletus)’ hiking route can also be combined with other trails to create a circular route. Examples:

• Start in Mauth with the 'Tanne' (Fir tree) trail to Sagwassersäge, then follow the ‘Hauptwanderweg' (Main Hiking Path) through the Felswandergebiet (rocky hiking area) and along Steinbach into Reschbachtal. Take the 'Eisvogel' (Kingfisher) trail back to the outskirts of Mauth.
  
• Start at the National Park Centre Lusen, follow the 'Tanne' (Fir tree) trail through the Tier-Freigelände (Animal enclosure) to just before Waldhäuser, then switch to the 'Habicht' (Hawk) trail. At the next trail intersection, follow 'Laubbaum' (Deciduous tree) to return to the National Park Centre Lusen.
  
• From the National Park Centre Lusen, follow the 'Tanne' (Fir tree) trail to Sagwassersäge, and then return to the National Park Centre via the 'Arnika' (Arnica) trail. This option can also be extended via the 'Dachs' (Badger) trail. To do this, follow a section of 'Arnika' (Arnica) from Sagwassersäge and then switch to the 'Dachs' (Badger) trail, initially heading towards Blumental and back to the National Park Centre.
