Brünnstein

We reach the starting point of our route by car. We drive on the Alpenstraße towards Tatzlwurm. About 1 km before Tatzlwurm, a narrow but well-developed road branches off to Rosengasse. In partly steep switchbacks, we reach the starting point of our Brünnstein route. From Rosengasse we follow the signposted path no. 651 over Seeonalm to Himmelmoosalm, which lies idyllically in a picture-book landscape on the southern slope in a hollow. Here we turn left and reach the last section to the summit. Short passages require the use of hands, difficult spots are equipped with a cable safety. But once on the summit, we are rewarded for our efforts. Brünnstein is an impressive limestone reef that rises three hundred meters above the surrounding alpine pastures. The view from the summit is magnificent – it extends from the rugged rocks of the Wilder Kaiser to the snow-covered peaks of the Central Alps. The return to the starting point goes back along our ascent path.
