  • At the lookout tower, we enjoy the wonderful distant view and can even see as far as Hungary in the best conditions
  • After a little refreshment in the Wildwiesenhütte (which we have really earned), we continue our hike. Down to the "Toten Mann", through the "Walddörfl" and we are back at the Brunnschneider, where we have a wonderful view of Wenigzell

The Pillhofer crib maker and the viewing platform on the Wildwiese are particularly worth seeing.
