Georoute Kleiner Berg Hohburg

The Kleiner Berg Hohburg georoute starts at the car park of the Museum Steinarbeiterhaus geoportal. Alternatively, there is a car park in the street “Am Kleiner Berg” and a car park in the street “Am Lossatal” (next to Hohburg Mineralfutter GmbH). There is a bicycle rest area opposite the ice cream parlor.

The starting point for the Kleiner Berg georoute is the Hohburg geoportal - the Steinarbeiterhaus museum. Follow Kirchgasse down past the church. At the junction with An der Linde street, turn left and after a few steps you will pass a small village square with an information board and town map. An der Linde street leads into Jahnstrasse in a triangle. Turn right here and follow Jahnstrasse over the Lossatal stream. A few meters after the bridge, turn right onto Am Lossatal street. On the left-hand side, immediately after the intersection, a footpath leads to the Am Kleiner Berg car park. From here, the Kleiner Berg georoute is marked with hiking trail signs and in the Kleiner Berg nature reserve with the "educational trail" pictogram - a diagonal green line on a white background. The necessary right turnoff to the sports field is marked by the Porphyrland Geopark information board on the special geological situation of the Kleiner Berg. Take the hiking trail that runs in front of the sports field's functional building; the building remains on the left. The north path runs along the foot of the Kleiner Berg parallel to the Am Lossatal road. You have a beautiful view of the village of Hohburg up to the Kaolinsee. At the Kaolinsee, the hiking trail meets the lake circular path. Follow this in a left direction to the bridge over the Kaolinsee and stay on the path leading to the Kleiner Berg on the left before the bridge. At the junction with the main path running across, you will see an ascending path to the Kleiner Berg on the opposite side, half right. This takes you to the National Geotop Wind and Glacier Polishes on the Kleiner Berg plateau. At the end of the plateau, the path leads steeply downhill on the left. Stay on the main path equipped with benches and leave the path branches leading to the road to the right. The main path runs straight ahead towards the sports field. A narrow path leads along the fence back to the functional building on Jahnstrasse. The way back to the Steinarbeiterhaus Museum is identical to the way there: across the Kleiner Berg car park, turn right into Am Lossatal street, at the intersection turn left into Jahnstraße, over the Lossa, left into An der Linde street and right into Kirchgasse to the Steinarbeiterhaus.
