ATTENTION: Due to logging work, the Hirnweg trail from the Bodenalm area to Gießenbach is closed. Access to Bodenalm via the Hirnweg trail coming from Seefeld is not affected.

This winter hiking route takes you through the picturesque Gießenbach Valley from Seefeld to Scharnitz, with a gentle downhill slope and beautiful landscapes.

Not far from the starting point "Schlossberg" on the main road near Seefeld, the Hirnweg begins. The trailhead is at the edge of the forest behind the modern castle building, the Magic Castle. Follow the path through snow-covered spruce forests until you reach the small village of Gießenbach. Cross the main road here and stroll through the houses on the right, parallel to the main road. A cozy break awaits at the Gasthof Ramona at the village's end, before continuing left and then right along the Gießenbach stream through the fields towards Scharnitz. In Scharnitz, follow the Hirlanda-Ellmann-Weg to the end of the hike at the Mariahilf parish church.

From here, you can either hike the same route back to Seefeld or take a bus or train connection from Scharnitz Railway Station back
