1) enough fitness

2) please bring cash (many huts don´t accept card)

3) Team spirit. So put always an eye to the group and no gaps in the group please.

5) please be punctual. Train could be packed and would be nice to sit together!

This Saturday weather finally looks good. I want to go back to Karwendel after long time not there anymore. This hike crossing from Eppzirlertal to Wörgltal is particularly scenic, especially at the Eppzirler Scharte, a saddle in the Karwendel mountains, primarily formed by the Hauptdolomit, a major dolomite formation in the region. This dolomite was deposited in a shallow sea between reefs and the African continent.

From Gießenbach we hike comfortably through the rocky Gießenbachklamm and then through the beautiful Eppzirlertal, past the pasture areas. We follow the road to the Eppzirler Alm. From the alm we go further and the landscape becomes more and more interesting and wild till we reach the beautiful Eppzirler Scharte. This part of the route goes through the typical Karwendel landscape to the Solsteinhaus. except for the geological composition of the rocks. In contrast to the large chains, whose summit mostly consists of horizontally layered limestone banks, the small area between Erlspitze and Kuhljoch is made of dolomite. The mostly vertical layers are heavily eroded and present themselves today as a bizarre rocky landscape made up of numerous turrets, reminiscent of the South Tyrolean Dolomites On the way through the large scree we may, with a little luck, spot chamois on the grassy areas between the rocks. The Eppzirler Scharte is situated within the Erlspitze Group, a horseshoe-shaped formation encircling the Eppzirler. The steep Höllkar col, whose ends are the Eppzirler Scharte and the Erlscharte, is located in the heart of the Karwendel Nature Park and is surrounded by a magnificent rocky arena.
We keep going till we reach Solsteinhaus that lie in a beautiful green location just under Erlspitze. Here we have our deserved break. Then we head to Innsbruck Valley where we finally reach Hochzirl station, where we catch the train back to Munich.

06,32 - 07,55

München HBF - Garmisch

Gleis 29

BRB 6 (59445)

08,02 - 08,36

Garmisch - Gießenbach in Tirol

Gleis 2

I plan to catch the train back at 17,01, that means we would be back to Munich around 19,26.

I am not a professional guide, hiking can be risky. Everybody is responsible for him/herself and must familiarize with the route and its requirements.

In case of problems the hike day you can contact me at 017643285424.

Looking forward to see you!! 😊
