    The Russbach Hornbahn brings you comfortably and easily to the 1,450 m high Hornspitz. There, besides Bruno's mountain world, you'll find numerous and diverse hiking trails. Whether walkers, stroller drivers, hut lovers, or mountain enthusiasts, there is something for everyone. If you prefer a leisurely pace, you can explore the alpine area with the Ameisenexpress Bummelzug.

    A visit to Bruno's mountain world at the Horn is very rewarding.

    Roadbook

    The hike starts at the departure point of the Bummelzug at Edtalm and you follow the signage for the Glacier View loop, passing the Ameisensee, then gently descending along the forest road to the junction towards Zwieselalm hut. At this junction, an old alpine path leads left uphill to a new alpine road to the Zwieselalm hut (stamp station). From there, it goes downward again a short stretch along Herrenweg (trail no. 611) to a junction, then left uphill past Edtalm hut (stamp station) back to the starting point.
