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.

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.

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.

The adventure trail, which runs mostly away from the existing forest road, leads to the summit of the Brotjackl bar in ten information stations over a total length of almost two kilometers.

Today's round started at the "Platzl" car park on the outskirts of Daxstein.
First we walked a short distance through forest and meadows before the path led us steeply up over roots and stone steps.
In the middle of the forest are the ruins of an old farmstead, the Kammererhaus.
You should definitely climb the tower on the Brotjacklriegel: in …

A beautiful tour with a magnificent panoramic view from the observation tower!

Great tour of the Brotjacklriegel. Unfortunately the observation tower was still closed 😒 and will only be accessible from April to mid-November.

Unfortunately, the observation tower was closed today, so we had to be satisfied with the views along the way. But there wasn't much of a view because of the fog. However, the fog itself immersed the forest in an incredibly mystical atmosphere that we just had to enjoy. Really great atmosphere, beautiful.
