Jagerbichl-Brandangeralm Tour

Moderately difficult hike from Pürgg to the Brandangeralm with a beautiful view of Trautenfels, Pürgg and Grimming.

The hike to the Jagerbichl and the Brandangeralm takes you along a variety of paths. From Pürgg you hike along mountain meadows and then into a species-rich mixed spruce forest. Above all, the vegetation on the ground has a lot to offer here with a wide variety of flora. With the Brandangeralm and the Hochalm around the Schröflhütte, two beautiful alpine areas also invite you to linger. From the Brandanger you can also take path #289 for a tour around the Brandangerkogel or a detour to the Leistenstein.
