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.
