Hiking tour

Village walks

This easy, wheelchair-accessible trail takes you through the idyllic landscape between Scharnitz and Gießenbach. Covering around 7 km, the route runs mostly along the gentle Gießenbach stream, inviting you to pause and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The path is flat, wide, and free of hazards throughout.

The hike begins at the Nature Park Information Centre in Scharnitz, which is accessible both by car and train. Here you’ll find two disabled parking spaces and an accessible toilet. After a quick stop for information, follow the Isar promenade towards the parish church Maria Hilf, cross the road, and continue into Porta-Claudia-Straße. At the end, turn left onto a gravel path, where the Gießenbach already flows alongside.

After a short section, the gravel path meets an asphalt road. Cross the small bridge and continue again on a gravel track, leading towards Gießenbach. At the edge of the village, you pass under a slightly steeper underpass of the federal highway—however, the path is very wide and the gravel is well compacted. From here, the well-maintained gravel path follows the stream almost all the way.  The tranquillity of the Karwendel valleys and peaks surrounding you makes
