Bike Tours Along the Water

Cycling tours with a stop for refreshments

This bike tour takes you through the idyllic Gießenbach valley to the Eppzirler Alm. Experience the idyllic Karwendel mountains and then enjoy home-made food at the mountain hut.

To get to the start of the tour by bike, follow the connection 5051 Seefeld-Scharnitz from Seefeld or Scharnitz to the junction of the connecting cycle path in Gießenbach.From here, the bike path leads upstream through the idyllic Giessenbach valley. Surrounded by steep rock faces, the wide forest road climbs quite steeply at first, but soon flattens out. The tour then continues moderately along the Giessenbach stream.

At a fork in the path, keep right and move away from the Giessenbach stream. A short, steep ascent here demands your strength once again. But then the road continues through shady woods and across gentle alpine meadows into a small valley floor, framed by the many peaks of the Karwendel.

The last section to the Eppzirler Alm is another gentle ascent. Once there, a magnificent view awaits you. After a refreshment stop at the hut, the return route follows the same path - perfect for enjoying the contrasting landscape once again!
