The Brunnsteig is one of the more challenging hiking trails in Langenwang due to its steep ascent. It gets its name from a former water pipeline that once supplied Hohenwang Castle with drinking water.

The hike along the Brunnsteig passes southwest of Sulzkogel and Hirschkopf. Along the way, hikers pass the Wetterkreuz before continuing either to Almbauer or further via Hauereck to Alpl.
