June 8, 2024,Von Parkplatz Mühlau zum Brünnstein

The route to Brünnstein (1619 m) is varied and offers very beautiful views from the Wilder Kaiser to the Tux Alps. In the summit area you can even do a bit of climbing, especially on the Dr. Julius-Mayr-Steig, where surefootedness and a head for heights are not a bad thing. At the top you are rewarded with a fantastic view …

January 27, 2023,Wanderung zum Brünnsteinhaus, per Klettersteig zum Brünnsteingipfel dann per Rodel

In advance:
The recording only began 30 minutes after departure, which is why the vertical meters are not correctly shown with a total of approx. 1000 hm!

The tour on Friday took me from the Mühlau hiking car park (612 m, free) to the Brünnsteinhaus (1360m) and then on by cable-secured ascent "half climbing without a set" along the so-called …

I'd rather go on the rope sections if not “so many people are hanging on to it” 😉🙈.

In terms of weather, we had no sunshine today.
Mühlau car park - to the Brünnsteinhaus and continue along the path to the chapel on the Brünnstein summit or to the chapel. At the chapel it was over for us today, because due to the fog we could not assess the way and possibly the danger of going down. The …

November 6, 2022,Brünsteinhaus ab Mühlau ❄️ überzuckert

To the Brünsteinhaus, from 🅿️ Mühlau (free) partly steep ascent and descent.... Time with 2 3/4 hours with little condition certainly not far-fetched... Brünsteinhaus open today 👍👍
Of course, it was sugary at the top (not my values from the snow 😉) which the 🌞 had not yet reached.

Escaped the Wasserburger 🌫.
@CKoans 🚴‍♀️⛰️🧘‍♀️ Thanks for the inspiration to go back to the Brünnsteinhaus. (I was so late that there was no room for the summit in the schedule)

There's not much to write about.
