Toter Mann – from the Wurzeralm

From the mountain station of the Wurzeralm funicular, the hike leads via Brunnsteiner See to the Rote Wand alpine saddle, then continues to the summit of the Toter Mann. Hike from the mountain station of the Wurzeralm down a gravel road which drops gradually to the Brunnsteinersee.

Now on a marked trail to the Rote Wand saddle, which rises steeply through a series of switchbacks. Hike past the Italienerloch until, on the south-east ridgeline, the hiking path from the Dümlerhütte feeds into our trail. Continue your steep ascent on a trail that is now rather slippery, coming to the high plateau of the Speikwiese. Briefly continue following the path towards Warscheneck, but you will soon leave it heading south to the Toter Mann (elev. 2137m).
