The Bruderkogel tour in the Murtal adventure region is a challenging six-hour tour. Take the opportunity of tranquility in nature along the ridge and enjoy the fantastic view.
We hike from the Bruckenhauser inn past the avalanche tunnel and then on the other side of the provincial road along the Genossenschatsweg forest road to the "Klaklalm". From there we follow the ridge to the Steinermandl (2192m) and over the Korbachkogel to the Bruderkogel in the adventure region Murtal.
