Hooded beach chairs by the sea of fog in Menzberg

Hike above the sea of fog while listening to stories: in Menzberg, seven beach chairs lead to particularly scenic viewpoints around the highest village on the Napf. Village stories, legends and music accompany you along the way.

Seven beach chairs with views and stories

The star-shaped hike starts in the village of Menzberg and leads to seven beach chairs at selected viewpoints. At each beach chair, around seven minutes of stories and music from the region await you. The complete route is 10 km long and takes about three hours without breaks.

If you prefer a shorter walk, you can reduce the route to three or six beach chairs. Along the way, self-service shops offer regional products, while the Landgasthof Hotel Menzberg invites you to stop for a break.

Travel comfortably by train to "Menznau". Continue with bus 261 to the final stop "Menzberg, Dorfplatz". All trails start directly at the bus stop.
