  25.2 km · +368 m · ≈ 5 h 39

  This nearly 55-kilometre long-distance trail winds from Wörnsmühl near Fischbachau over the Ursprungpass and on to Thiersee in Austria, passing through meadows, forest, and alongside running water with the mountain world always in view. Along the way, an audio walk — accessible via the free Livi AR app — brings the history of the Ursprungpass to life through two characters, Elli and Theo.

• Wanderweg 657 - Brünnstein

  19.3 km · +1647 m · ≈ 6 h 36

  The trail climbs through idyllic alpine meadows past the Baumoos, Seeon, and Himmelmoos alms to the Brünnsteinhaus, where the panorama stretches from the Kaisergebirge to the Central Alps. Along the way, the pale Oberrhätkalk limestone of the summit — formed in a shallow warm sea 200 million years ago — rises like a petrified ship's prow above a sea of treetops, and with luck you may spot ibex roaming the slopes in separate herds.

• Wanderweg 659 - Trainsjoch

  7.5 km · +1297 m · ≈ 3 h 40

  The Trainsjoch sits on the border between Bavaria and Austria, its open, free-standing position making it an exceptional viewpoint — particularly toward the south into the Bavarian Alps. The route passes the Mariandlalm at around 1.200 m, an alpine hut with a sunny terrace, before the final approach steepens sharply just below the summit.

• Bayrischzeller Höhenweg

  15.1 km · +1461 m · ≈ 5 h 27

  The trail winds in serpentines through forest above Bayrischzell before opening onto the sunny meadow hollow of the Neuhüttenalm, where the Ursprungtal drops nearly 500 metres below and the view stretches freely into the Tyrolean mountains. Cows still graze the remaining alms on the Seeberg's flanks, a landscape shaped by centuries of alpine farming — and, briefly, by Bavarian soldiers who kept watch here against Tyrolean Gebirgsschützen between 1806 and 1809.

• Wanderweg 651 - Brünnstein

  27.5 km · +1616 m · ≈ 8 h 12

  The trail circles the Brünnstein — a pale Oberrhätkalk limestone peak that one 19th-century alpinist called the most beautiful mountain form in the Bavarian Inn valley — passing the Baumoos, Seeon, and Himmelmoos alms before reaching the Brünnsteinhaus hut below the summit. With luck, walkers may spot ibex in the surrounding terrain, where a population of between twenty and fifty animals descended from five Swiss individuals released in 1963.

• Wanderweg 656 - Brünnstein

  11.1 km · +661 m · ≈ 3 h 19

  The route climbs from Oberaudorf through forest and the wild-romantic Brünntal valley to the Brünnsteinhaus, with the Hocheck along the way. The Brünnstein itself — its pale Oberrhätkalk summit described by one 19th-century alpinist as a "mächtige Felsenkrone" rising above a broad green base — rewards walkers with a celebrated view of the Kaiser massif and the chance to spot ibex, first introduced here from Switzerland in 1963.
