Route: Information centre Scharnitz/parking Länd - Isar bridge - Karwendeltal/Karwendelhaus - Brandlegg - Angeralm - Hochalm - Karwendelhaus 

Route description:

The classic among the tours

At the information centre Scharnitz / parking Länd (P2) pass the Museum Holzerhütte. After approx. 1 km after the Isar bridge, turn left towards Karwendeltal/Karwendelhaus. A short, steep ascent follows to Brandlegg with a view of the neighbouring valleys. Here you cycle further along the stream Karwendelbach to the Angeralm (not managed). After a few serpentines a steep ascent follows to the Hochalm (not managed) and after a few hairpin bends you reach the turnoff to the nearby Hochalmsattel, the view into the Karwendel (1803 m). The magnificent panoramic view will certainly remain in your memory for a long time. Then continue to the Karwendelhaus (1771 m), a contemporary yet traditional mountain hut. The more than 100 year old restaurant or the sunny terrace with a fantastic view of the Karwendel valley and the western Karwendel peak, as well as traditional dishes invite you to take a well-deserved break.
