Hiking tour

Loop tour

Your hike starts at the Nature Park Information Center in Scharnitz, where you set off on your adventure. From here, follow the Hinterautalstraße into the valley, climbing gently over a small hill. Continue straight until you reach a bridge, which takes you across the Isar. After the bridge, turn left towards the Karwendel Valley. About 50 meters later, turn right onto a forest road, which leads you further into the woods. After a while, you’ll reach a junction where you turn left to find the peaceful Birzlkapelle, a charming little chapel nestled in the forest – a perfect spot for a short break.

For the way back, you have two options:
If you prefer an easy return, simply follow the same path back to Scharnitz.

For a bit more adventure, take the narrow and partly steep trail. This path continues straight past the chapel and leads through the forest until you reach a viewpoint with a bench. Here, turn sharply right and descend steeply through several switchbacks. At the first junction, turn right again and follow the so-called Plattsteig through the forest back towards Scharnitz. As you approach the first houses, keep left and follow the Inrainstraße,
