Climb the Nebelstein from Harmanschlag via forest paths. Hiking trail no. 76
The hike begins at the village square in Harmanschlag. After the entrance to the archery park, turn left towards Oberort along the Althüttenbach stream. In Oberort, continue towards Gemeindeberg and through the forest towards Nebelstein. The last section of the hike is difficult and leads along a narrow, steep path towards Nebelsteinhütte. But then you are rewarded with a fantastic view from the newly designed viewing platform. You can then fortify yourself at the Nebelsteinhütte. The route back to Harmanschlag leads via the former district of Himmelreich and Althütten. Afterwards you continue above the ski lift to Arramartel and then along the ski slope back to Harmanschlag.
