Brunnstein Peak

The first mountain I climbed from bottom to top. The ascent from the Brunnsteinhütte was sometimes a bit scary and very hot in the sun. But from the saddle to the summit, the path is very pleasant, and the summit is also wide, so I felt safe up there :)

Brunnstein Meadow

After the via ferrata finally a nice, grassy place to take a break.
Either on German or Austrian territory. ;-)

Brunnstein Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

As participants in the DAV campaign “This is what the mountains taste like”, the Brunnsteinhütte innkeepers prepare a large part of their food with local products. This gives guests an authentic, sustainable impression of the region.

The hut is open from May 1st to mid-October. In the winter months and spring the hut is also open on weekends when the weather is nice.

I walked the Birzelgrat for the first time today, first a beautiful path through the forest, very pleasant in the heat today, then the path changes, it gets stony, rocky and you climb steeply uphill through pines, which feels a bit like today oven felt. From time to time you come to steep rocky sections where you can rest your …

Today again pleasure mountain hiking instead of adrenaline rush => Brunnsteinspitze 2,180 m.a.s.l.

And exactly after this tour, I know again why I came to mountain hiking!! Steep climbs, slight exposure, some climbing in the 1st degree, mega views, buddy on the side and enjoying in a nice hut. That is life!!

A dream hike on a fantastically beautiful day ☀️ 🏞️ ♥️
The climb was extremely challenging, but with some really great climbing sections. Be extra cautious in the exposed sections.
We didn't see a soul until we reached the Brunnsteinspitze. And we even had the cross to ourselves. The view in all directions is simply breathtaking 😍. The clouds in …

Official description in the Karwendel Nature Park:
Brunnsteinspitze, 2180 m
This mountain tour in Scharnitz leads along the national border on lonely paths to the Brunnsteinspitze. On a narrow, in places difficult to recognize trail through mountain pines, over rocks and later over alpine meadows, you always have a wonderful panoramic view.
