Lam: Discover panoramic trails, legends and wood
Accommodation in Lam
Lam in the Lamer Winkel offers a variety of trails that reveal different sides of the surrounding area and its stories. The 8 km circular trail “La02 (Panorama Trail)” starts at the Lam Tourist Information Centre, passes several stops and returns to the starting point, with repeated views along the way of the Bavarian Forest mountains as far as the Großer Arber. There is also a legends trail and the themed trail “All About Wood Lam-Lohberg” for other kinds of discovery. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Lam, these differences can help you decide which experiences you would like to shape your stay.
Exploring the panoramic trail
The panoramic trail begins at the Lam Tourist Information Centre. It first follows the pavement along Lambacher Straße to Oberschmelz. From there, the circular route passes through Himmelreich, Buchet, the Fürstenzeche mine, Berghäusl and Daxenhof before returning to the Tourist Information Centre. The trail therefore includes both a section along the pavement and stretches at the edge of the forest: there, a narrow path leads through Himmelreich, Buchet, the Fürstenzeche mine and Berghäusl.
The route offers repeated views of the Bavarian Forest mountains as far as the Großer Arber. Here, the landscape and the route go hand in hand: you follow a defined circular trail rather than heading for just one viewpoint. The full route is 8 km long. If you would like to make a specific hike the focus of your stay, this is a clearly named tour that starts and ends at the Lam Tourist Information Centre. The stops listed also give you an idea of the places and landscape sections the trail passes through.
Legends and wood as other discoveries
The “SAGENhafte” legends trail “La” offers a different way to get to know Lam and the Lamer Winkel. It starts at Lam Panorama Park, follows Engelshütter Straße and passes Holzmühle, Engelshütt and Ginglmühle before returning to the Panorama Park. Along the trail, information boards feature legends from the Lamer Winkel and the Bavarian Forest. The circular trail is suitable for pushchairs. For families who would like to combine a walk with stories, this is a specific difference from the panoramic trail: the legends along the route take centre stage, and its suitability for pushchairs is explicitly part of the trail description.
The themed trail “All About Wood Lam-Lohberg” passes through the villages of Lam and Lohberg. Wood is considered from three perspectives: as the basis for producing economic goods, as a source of energy and as a raw material for creative work. This makes the trail a thematic discovery rather than another variation on the panoramic trail. If you are interested in the different uses of a raw material, you can use these three aspects to guide your outing. The trail connects Lam and Lohberg thematically; no specific distance or walking time is given.
Lam and the Lamer Winkel
Lam is one of the three places in the Lamer Winkel region, which includes Arrach, Lam and Lohberg. Lam Panorama Park also has its own focus: it is intended to provide as natural a connection as possible between the marketplace and the leisure facilities—the indoor swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool and playground. Thus, in addition to the circular trails, the park is also described as a link between the marketplace and these leisure facilities.
When choosing a holiday apartment, you might first consider whether you would prefer to centre your stay on the 8 km panoramic circular trail, the legends along the pushchair-friendly circular trail or the theme of wood.
