Hiking around Scharnitz

Scharnitz is located at about 964 m above sea level on the western edge of the Karwendel Mountains, regarded as the "Gateway to the Karwendel" and is a central starting point for hikes in the Karwendel Nature Park. Numerous tours start here – for example, through the cozy Hinterautal to the Isar spring, into the sportily demanding Karwendeltal, into the quiet Gleirschtal with the wild Gleirsch Gorge or into the tranquil Gießenbachtal – for all those seeking nature-based relaxation. The more leisurely paths along the Isar or the Gießenbach also invite for hiking and relaxing in Scharnitz. Worthwhile are also the vantage points such as the historical Porta Claudia or the Adlerkanzel, offering a view over the village of the Seefeld region up to Germany. The special location at the edge of the Tyrolean Karwendel Nature Park makes Scharnitz an ideal starting point for a variety of hikes – from relaxed valley walks to alpine summit tours.
