The Karwendel Höhenweg remains open and passable, but route adjustments are required.

The first stage of the Karwendel High Trail starts at the railway station in Reith and initially heads north along the road. After crossing Römerstraße road, continue north on Panoramaweg road until this branches off into a bend heading south. Follow Panoramaweg before turning on to trail 211 and heading in a northerly direction. A short time later, this branches off to the right and snakes along to the Schartlenerhaus (1856 m). The trail then leads across the Latschenrücken ridge of the "Schoa?grat", with the winding early sections of this route subsequently giving way to less pronounced curved passages as you complete your final ascent to the Nördlinger Hütte (2239 m).

Variant:
The starting point is the valley station
