It's a great place to hike up and sled down in winter. You can rent sleds right at the hut and simply park them at the end of the sled run.

A good moment to refuel before the walk to the Wöckelwarte viewpoint (but afterwards is also possible of course :-))

Suspension bridge "Maurrinne" since 2013, Längenfeld Since 2013, there has been an 83m long (valley floor 220 meters) panoramic suspension bridge over the "Maurrinne" between Burgstein and Brand. The entire path has also been renovated and widened, so you can comfortably walk to and from Burgstein. From the bridge, you can look out over the wide valley floor of Längenfeld and the Aqua Dome thermal spa. There is also a "dog track": special metal plates have been mounted on the floor of the bridge so that the little four-legged friends do not injure their paws and can cross the suspension bridge without any problems.
