Brunnenkopf Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very rustic mountain hut, lovingly run. 30 beds in the dormitory, toilet and washing facilities with cold water outside the hut, which is not a problem, but what hikers should know.

Brunnenkopf summit (1,738 m)

Highlight • Summit

Only exposed at the very top. Be careful in thunderstorms as there are a few wire ropes and the summit is exposed.
Great view of the Klammspitze, among other places.

...and the tour continues. In glorious weather, we went to the Brunnenkopf today. Significantly more relaxed than yesterday and also a few meters less in altitude, but still nice. On the way back we stopped in and had a light one. Great tour! Great corner!
