Brannenburg is known for its beautiful location between the mountains and the river Inn. It is a popular destination for hikers, cyclists and nature lovers due to its numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking or skiing in winter.

Topically relevant sights include Neubeuern Castle and the Falkenstein castle ruins, both of which are worth a visit. Cultural highlights include the Brannenburg local history museum and the music festival weekend in summer.

Culinary specialities of Brannenburg include traditional Bavarian cuisine such as pork knuckle or veal sausage, as well as regional specialities such as cheese from the surrounding area or fresh bread from the local baker.

The best seasons for outdoor activities are spring and autumn, when temperatures are mild and nature shows its splendour of colour. In winter, skiing is excellent at the nearby Sudelfeld or Spitzingsee-Tegernsee ski resorts.

If it rains, there are also some indoor options to keep you busy: The Brandhorst Museum offers modern works of art while the Inntalcenter invites you to go shopping. Also recommended is a trip to Rosenheim to the Lokschuppen exhibition hall with changing themed exhibitions.

The most beautiful places in Brannenburg are the Inn with its meadows, the surrounding mountains and Neubeuern Castle. A walk through the town leads to charming corners such as the historic market square or the church of St. Margaretha.

Brannenburg is definitely worth a trip for anyone who appreciates nature and culture in equal measure. Our Travel Guide hopes to have given you a good overview of this beautiful destination!

    Die Wanderung beginnt steil aber sehr schön bis hinauf nach St. Magarethen. Danach ist man vor allem auf Sträßchen un Wirtschaftswegen unterwegs. Auf kürzeren Abschnitten auch mal auf mehr oder weniger deutlichen Pfaden. Die Umleitung ist immer noch aktiv und führt über einen steilen Forstweg bergab und dann praktisch weglos über eine kleine Weide.

    Followed this tour for a bit but then went rogue after the Wildalpjoch :) Altogether it was an amazing hike! The town is cute and the first section of the path goes along a beautiful brook and then up into the forest along a fairly steep slope. Once you get up to the Sudelfeldpass the views are fantastic the whole way through! It was pretty quiet when I went too and I only met one or two other hikers until the Lacheralm. You pass through calm pastures (with frequent cow encounters, but they all seemed very chill). Starting from the Lacheralm, the path gets more rocky and you start having to use your hands to steady yourself a bit more. The path up to the Wildalpjoch definitely has the steepest sections where I had to hold on to trees or the rocks in some parts. Still, the view is absolutely fantastic and totally worth the climb!! I left the tour and went on to the Wendelstein, which I definitely recommend if you're up for a slightly longer hike. I didn't add any photos for it, but it is a gorgeous path over, much less steep and very doable. They also have a nice Gasthof with food and drink and a cable car you can take down to avoid the steep descent. I took a more direct path down the mountain than suggested in this tour and will caution that this was extremely steep and my knees (not normally an issue) started hurting a lot by the end.

    Der vom Verfasser beschriebene Weg ist ein Stück nach Hinterkronberg gesperrt: „Lebensgefahr“. Es gibt eine Umleitung, die allerdings etwas spärlich beschildert ist. Man kommt kurz vor der Überquerung der Sudelfeldstraße wieder auf den beschriebenen Weg.

    Tolle Wanderung, die Stück über das Geröllfeld ist etwas anspruchsvoller, aber absolut machbar. Wir sind in ganz entspannten Tempo gegangen und haben nur 3:15h gebraucht. Parkplatz an der Talstation ist perfekt und auch an einem sonnigen Sonntagvormittag nicht überfüllt.

    ...auch hervorragend mit ÖPNV zu machen. Von Brannenburg Bahnhof den Kirchbach entlang nach Dreilinden oder auch nach Sagbruck. Der Weg den Kirchbach entlang ist sehr schön, ca. eine Stunde länger als beschrieben.

    Eine sehr schöne Runde mit wunderbarer Aussicht. Allerdings ist zu beachten, dass das Rad zur Rampoldalm hinauf einige Höhenmeter getragen werden muss (siehe drittes Bild). Definitv nicht fahrbar aufgrund von felsstufen. Auch nicht mit dem e-bike. Die Aussicht entschädigt aber.

    schöne und abwechslungsreichen Tour. Ostgrad ist sehr schön, im Grunde ein steiler Wanderpfad, ohne Schwierigkeiten, auch nicht ausgesetzt. Habe die Tour im Herbst als Bike & Hike gemacht, mit dem Bike bis zur Lechneralm, Rest zu Fuß.

    Schöne Tour, die selbst bei Nebel Freude macht. Für Bahn-Freunde aus München bietet sich die Anfahrt zum Startpunkt mit der BRB über Holzkirchen nach Bayrischzell und von oben die knieschonende Abfahrt mit der Zahnradbahn nach Brannenburg an (von dort mit BRB via Rosenheim zurück nach München).

    Mittlerweile ist die Tour an Wochenenden und Feiertagen in den Sommermonaten gut mit dem Münchner Bergbus (Linie 396) erreichbar. Der Bus startet am Münchner Ostbahnhof und hält u.a. in Bayrischzell. Weitere Infos findet ihr hier: https://www.alpenverein-muenchen-oberland.de/umwelt/muenchner-bergbus/bergbus-bayrischzell-hinterthiersee Infos zum Ticketkauf und Fahrplan hier: https://www.mvv-muenchen.de/mobilitaetsangebote/bergbus/index.html Der Bergbus wurde zwar bereits 2021 ins Leben gerufen, wird jedoch erst seit 2024 offiziell vom MVV betrieben.
