Hikes and mountain tours
Schwendt often is affectionately called the "nostalgic treasure chest of the region". A pure natural paradise lies before you where the church tower of St. Ägidius flashes into the sky. In the mountain summer, Schwendt is the perfect starting point for hikes and mountain tours. Mount Zahmer Kaiser and Mount Wilder Kaiser offer, just as the Kaiserbachtal Valley in Griesenau, a variety of varied tours in different degrees of difficulty.
Tip: In our Kaiserwinkl magazine you can find a round tour over Feldberg and Stripsenkopf. Have fun hiking!
