Little Büchelstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent is very steep, but the great view makes up for it.

Tip by

2.44 km

At 832 meters you have a great panorama over parts of Lower Bavaria. If the weather is good, you can even see the Alps on the horizon. By the way, the wooden ramp serves hang-gliders for starting, as long as the thermals fit.

Großer Büchelstein summit cross and panoramic view

Is 100% worth a visit, whether in summer or winter. The view - distant view is always super beautiful (if the weather is right 😉)

Brotjackl Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Legend about the name "Brotjacklriegel":
On this mountain, which can be seen from afar, a small, bearded man, Jackl, once found shelter during the Swedish War. Without leaving his cave, Jackl always had enough bread so that he did not have to starve. One day, when Jackl was looking to see if the Swedes had already left, they discovered him. After Jackl did not reveal the secret of his constant supply of bread, they pushed him back into his cave and rolled a heavy rock in front of him. This outrage caused a clap of thunder and the Swedes were turned into boulders that still lie on the mountain today.

Brotjacklriegel (viewing tower currently closed)

Highlight • Summit

The mountain (1,011 meters) is the landmark of this region. More precisely, its wooden observation tower, which houses the "Turm-Stüberl", which invites to a little refreshment. If you want to enjoy the great panorama of the Bavarian-Bohemian Border Ridge, the Passauer Land and the Danube plain as far as the Alps from the tower, there are only two obstacles: 127 steps and a "Ascension" fee of one Euro.

I originally wanted to start this tour in Grattersdorf 🏘️. But my favorite parking lot 🚗 was just being completely renovated! 🥳 So I drove on and up to the Steinberg lifts just before Langfurth 🏘️.

My first destination was the Brotjacklriedel (1010 m) ⛰️. According to legend, the Brotjacklriegel owes its name to a baker, the Brot-Jackl 🍞, who …
