You can see the giant Steinmandl early on when you set off for the Brandberger Kolm. Fortunately, because the Brandberger Kolm is at least as beautiful from below as it is from above.
Challenging mountain tour to the Brandberger Kolm, a summit in the Zillertal with great views. From the starting point in Brandberg, the trail first leads through forest and alpine pastures before the ascent becomes steeper and more alpine. The trail leads over scree and rocky terrain, where surefootedness and a head for heights are essential. The summit of the Brandberger Kolm rewards you with a magnificent view of the Zillertal Alps and the surrounding valley.
From the municipal office at Brandberg, begin your hike towards Gasthaus Thanner. Then, follow the trail to Kolmhaus. From Kolmhaus, the path nr. 513 proceeds gently through Brandberger-Kar to the east and ascends to an alpine meadow. At this point, the trail to Kolm veers to the right. Follow this path until you reach a distinctive "Steinmandl" (cairn). Subsequently, the trail ascends steeply through switchbacks in scree slopes. Finally, a short climbing section awaits before you reach the broad summit adorned with a summit cross.
Dizziness and surefootedness are prerequisites for this route.
