Brünnstein is a 1634 m high mountain in the Bavarian Prealps in the Mangfall Mountains near the Sudelfeld region. It is a limestone reef elongated in east-west direction, which drops steeply to the south and very steeply to the north. The Brünnstein is one of the most popular excursion mountains in the region.

Peterskopf (main summit, 1634.2 m): The highest point is not accessible to tourists; one reaches it from the eastern summit through a not harmless scramble along the exposed ridge; also the view is not worth the climb. 

Ascent: From parking follow the wide forest road to Brünnsteinhaus. From the hut, follow the path on the left to Brünnstein. There is an alternative ascent leads to summit (Dr.-Julius-Mayr-Weg), you can find more details here. The path is not difficult but sure-footedness and no fear of heights is required. It's not suitable for beginners.

Descent: Same as ascent.
