Guided winter walks
The hikes through the wintry Wildschönau with our guides offer interesting insights and all kinds of local knowledge about the region and its people. On easy to moderate tours, our experienced hiking guides accompany you through the snow-covered landscape - both on cleared paths and cross-country. In addition to the guided winter hikes, we also offer varied snowshoe hikes through the Wildschönau. If you prefer to explore the natural landscape under the clear winter sky, you can also take part in a night hike with a headlamp or torch.
Make full use your Wildschönau Card ! With it you can enjoy numerous local services at no extra cost. Our guided hikes and snowshoe rental are also included in the Wildschönau Card.
