Seefeld to Scharnitz, or in other words, from the heart of the region to the "Gateway to the Karwendel". This relatively relaxed stage of the Seefeld High Plateau Winter Multi-day Hike passes through varied landscapes with some refreshment stops en route.

Stage 2 leads winter hikers to Scharnitz. The path to the "Gateway to the Karwendel" once again starts in Seefeld's pedestrian zone but heads in a different direction. From Seefeld train station, go right past the village square into Münchner Straße and walk along to the Seefelderhof (turning onto Wasserfallweg).

After a few minutes, Wasserfallweg merges into Heilbadstraße, where you turn left and come to a gravel path. From there, follow the signs toward Triendlsäge. This charmingly located guesthouse, nestled between forest and stream, is hard to miss. From Triendlsäge, continue right towards Bodenalm (closed in winter) and after the alm, head towards the road. After carefully crossing the main road, walk along trail no. 6, an easy path parallel to the railway tracks, until you reach Gießenbach.

At Gießenbach, cross back over the road again, passing the second refreshment stop, Gasthof Ramona, and follow trail no. 19, turning right onto Sportplatzweg. The
