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.

Brotjacklriegel Transmitter

Highlight • Monument

The Brotjacklriegel transmitter has been on the Brotjacklriegel since 1951. It is a radio transmitter that was used a little later for broadcasting TV programs. A free-standing steel lattice tower 48 meters high was used for this until 1960. Between 1959 and 1960, today's 100 meter high reinforced concrete tower was built. Since October 2006 it has been carrying a 23 m high cylinder made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP cylinder), in which the antennas for the DVB-T are present. There is an adapter piece of 2 meters between the concrete tower and the cylinder.

A nice, short hike to the Brotjacklriegel.

Actually, the highlight of this round should be the view from the Brotjacklriegel, but when I arrived at the tower, the landlord informed me that the district office prohibited climbing the tower for fire protection reasons. Luckily I enjoyed the views beforehand and so the elderberry orchid became the highlight of this tour.

Beautiful, easy loop to the Brotjacklriegel, short on asphalt, mostly on well-trodden forest and meadow paths with a magnificent panoramic view.

On the way to the Sturmriegel hiking parking lot above Langfurth, a fantastic panoramic view opens up far beyond the Danube plain and over the Bavarian Forest mountains.
