Brunnenkopf Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very rustic mountain hut, lovingly run. 30 beds in the dormitory, toilet and washing facilities with cold water outside the hut, which is not a problem, but what hikers should know.

A very long but also highly recommended hike over 5 peaks. Although the Pürschling disappointed me a bit. The other four were already staged better. If you want to walk 5km less, you just have to pay the 3 euro parking fee. I preferred to invest the money in an isotonic cold drink.

Tour on rustic paths and climbs to the Hennenkopf, then on to the Teufelstättkopf (lots going on there) and to the August-Schuster-Hütte (unfortunately it was closed and the fridge was already empty).

Nice circular tour to 3 peaks. It takes a while in places, but the view is beautiful. In summer, the paths can be a bit overgrown, as they are very narrow along the ridge and the grass grows high all around. But that wasn't an issue for us at the end of October.
