Hiking 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.
