Sonnseit circuit (no. 14)

Description

On this walking tour you will visit all the filming locations from the music video of the famous rock band.
From the hiking information in the village, you go via the Wochenbrunnweg (runs across the 27-hole golf course), past farmhouses and up through the forest and through the new Spatlahner Gorge. After about one and a half hours you have reached the Wochenbrunner Alm (1,085 m).

The tour continues via the Ellmau Stone Circle, an energetic, self-contained natural force field on the Wilder Kaiser. Recordings for the Rammstein video were also made here (alphorns and edelweiss). Over hill and dale, through a pine forest, you reach the rustic Riedlhütte (1,268 m) in just under an hour. We continue to the Biedringer Platte and Biedringer Alm, where the interior shots were taken. A beautiful forest path now leads you via the Biedringer farms to the local history museum, the main location of the video - here people danced, sang and celebrated. The way back leads along the Weißache back to the hiking starting point in the village.
