Hofbräu Kaltenhausen (Hallein)

We start our hike at Hofbräu Kaltenhausen near Hallein. On the right, behind the main building of the historic brewery, we follow the Braumeisterweg uphill and thus reach the steep slope forest below the mighty Barmsteine towering behind it. After a few meters, the path crosses a somewhat wider forest road that is crossed at a slight angle. A blue marker on the other side indicates access to a narrow path that is obscured by dense foliage and thus somewhat difficult to find. Steeply uphill, the well-marked path continues up the mountain. Over roots and small streams we climb higher and higher up the mountain and finally reach a small clearing where the path splits. We continue hiking in the direction of "Großer Barmstein - 30 min". The path leads us through a fairy-tale scenery. Moss-covered boulders and coarse roots line the path, which winds its way through gorge-like formations between mighty rocks. After a few minutes, we turn left at a trail junction to the Großer Barmstein.

 

ATTENTION: This part of the hike is really only recommended for experienced hikers who are free of giddiness and sure-footed! The path here is partly secured with steel ropes and exposed.

 

The way back follows the same path up to the clearing mentioned above, but at the intersection we now continue straight ahead (Kaltenhausen - 45 min). The path widens into a forest road and leads downhill in large serpentines. On the Kumpfmillerweg we go back to our starting point.

 

At the end, get your stamp for your Tennengau hiking pass and enjoy a well-deserved refreshment at the Bräustübl Kaltenhausen.
