From Wildalpen take the B24 in the direction of Mariazell for about 5.3 km and turn right into the Brunntal; a grey signpost is attached and there is a parking space directly next to the chapel.

We follow the path number: 91

At the entrance of the Brunntal there is a small chapel in front of it, and on the left side a forest road leads into the Brunntal. Even further left, in the middle of the spring protection area, is the Brunnsee. (No bathing lake!) The forest road runs gently and only slightly uphill into the valley to the Brunnmäuern. At the end of the valley it rises steeply to below the Rotmäuer. To return, we take the same route back.

Additional information: Accessible with prams and wheelchairs on a gravel road; however, there is a barrier right at the beginning.

The hike is easy to walk and very scenic.

This hike is also very family-friendly and can be done safely with off-road prams! Hiking equipment

sturdy shoes, weatherproof clothing, mobile phone for emergencies

In every backpack: Rain, cold and sun protection, first aid kit, sufficient liquid and a hiking map of the region.
