Mountain Hike
Lochner Wasserfall - Burgeralm - Brennkopf

The hike begins in the village of Walchsee, in front of the parish church. From there, head north across the village aquare and then right into the Hausbergstraße road. Follow the road for around one kilometre to the football pitch (690 metres). Here, continue north to the settlement of Winkl. Then follow the signs for "Wandberghütte" and "Wasserfall". The trail heads into the forest on the right-hand side of the Kohlenriedbach stream before climbing uphill via a series of switchbacks. In the forest, cross two streams in a westerly direction and, just a little later, you will reach the Lochner Wasserfall (940 metres), an impressive waterfall. A little further up the mountain you can enjoy a fine view of the nearby lake. Heading south, the trail intersects with a larger dirt road. Follow this twisting road, which ends up heading north. Take a turning off the road and head in a northerly direction on the left-hand side of the Kohlenriedbach stream until you reach the Burgeralm. This is a good place to stop for a rest. If you still have enough energy, continue for a few hundred metres to the Wandberghütte. Alternatively, you can continue from the Burgeralm in a westerly direction to the Wandberg mountain – or past the Wandberg mountain along trail 54 to the Brennkopf mountain (1,353 metres) with its fantastic views. From this mountain, take the westerly trail, then head south through open terrain past the Brennköpfl (1,255 metres) into the forest. Continue to the settlement of Winkl and then follow the banks of the Rahmbach stream back to the starting point in Walchsee.
