Around the Thierbach 'Kogel'
Snow shoe walking in untouched nature is becoming more & more popular. A lovely walk is around the Thierbach Kogel (meaning hilltop). The hamlet of Thierbach consists of a church, a school, a few farms and 2 guesthouses and is absolutely idyllic.
The walk starts at the church and leads you passed the Mooshof Farm, through the woods and back to the village. The views as always are splendid and a stop in one of the oldes guesthouses in the Wildschönau afterwards is a must!
