Description

We drive by car to the Reiterbrücke bridge in the district of Winkl, Brixenbach. On the left, we walk uphill along the Brixenbach stream. This trail leads through marvellous alpine and mountain meadows and is also lined with several shrines, the Way of the Cross to the Brixenbachalm. About halfway through the hike to the Wiegalm, we reach a beautifully situated rest area above the Brixenbachalm with a marvellous view of the Wilder Kaiser and the Brixner Sonnberg. The mountain trail leads us further uphill until we reach the Wiegalm, where we have the opportunity to extend our hike by a few more rewarding steps in order to enjoy the wonderful mountain world around us even more. A tasty alpine snack strengthens us for the way back down into the valley. For the way back, we either take the same route or follow the forest path out of the valley along the Brixenbach stream to our starting point.
