(S) From Fischenhausen-Neuhaus railway station, take Wendensteinstraße to the end and turn right onto Waldschmidtstraße. Stay on Waldschmidtstraße until the end. It then ends in a footpath.
(1) Follow this path until you reach Buchenweg, then turn right. Immediately take the forest track towards the Ankel-Alm inn.
You will then come to a first path on the right, leading to a junction (a forest road joins at an angle of about 20 degrees to your right): do not take the path on the left, but the one opposite. Stay on this path until you reach the Ankel-Alm: walk for about 2.7 km up this slope, which has a gradient of approximately 17 per cent.
(2) At the inn, continue uphill.
(3) After the inn, the path splits into two tracks; take the one on the right, leaving the Ehard-Alm mountain hut on your left.
(4) The path runs the entire length of the Brecherspitz, before rejoining the left-hand path you left behind on the way up.
(5) A third of the way along the path, you’ll come to the Saint-Lehonard chapel. You’ll then see a path leading down to the right – do not take it.
(6) You will then come to the Birkenstein, followed by the Brecherspitz Vorgipfel.
(7) Do not take the path on the right; you will eventually reach the summit of the Brecherspitz.
(8) Begin the descent and reach the junction.
(3) Turn right, passing the Ankel-Alm inn.
(2) Head back down to the village along the same forest track as on the way up and reach the station (S/E).
