Hiking tour

Circular hike

The trail starts at the Nature Park Information Center in Scharnitz and follows the Isar promenade towards the village center and the church. At the main road, it crosses the Isar bridge to the right. Just before Café Reitherbrot, the route continues right onto Inrainstraße.

After passing under the railway bridge, the path turns left onto the Plattsteig. Following the marked trail leads to the Birzlkapelle. From there, the route continues past the chapel to the forest road of the Karwendel Valley. The trail proceeds towards the Karwendelhaus until a junction on the right leads to the Karwendelsteg.

The Karwendelsteg not only offers a varied trail but also a magnificent view of the Karwendelschlucht Gorge waterfall cascading dramatically into the depths. The path then continues to a forest road leading towards the Pleisenhütte. At this point, it turns right, heading to the Isarlodge Wiesenhof, and finally follows the road back to Scharnitz.
