07^Jun Sun
07:40

Check the info about cost/tickets (21€) and pace before joining. Meteoblue Forecast for Sunday looks sunny and warm during the day 😎 

Please only join if you can definitely attend, out of respect for the others in the group - the transport tickets are affected by the number of joiners.  It will be a long (but beautiful!) day, so leave the evening free. 

You know I don’t like rushing but we’ll need to keep a reasonable pace, no faster than 400m / hr. 

Achensee is notoriously difficult to reach with public transport. For those who like details here’s the info:

In pairs we will buy the 2Plus ticket on VVT online to cover the leg from Kufstein to Achensee (works out at 21€ per person) and this includes the return from Stans to Kufstein. The 2Plus allows unlimited travel/routes for one day for two people. Hence please only join the event if you intend to come as it affects the group.

I am reversing/adapating a route Marco previously, so here’s some of his description (which I have edited / adapted to fit the reversed order of our trip 😉):

Let’s go to Tyrol for a rewarding hike including a view over Achensee, a river route through Wolfsklamm (gorge), and an old pilgrimage mountain monastery where we can grab a beer.

The beautiful ridge at Ochsenkopf will provide phenomenal views to Karwendel, Achensee, Guffert, Rofans and Zillertal.

Ochsenkopf is part of the easternmost Karwendel subgroup, the Rappenspitze - Stanser Joch Ridge. The ridge runs east - west and its southern slopes dip down to the Inn valley at Jenbach, Stans, Vomp and Schwaz. To the north there is Weißenbachtal, Bärenkopf and Achensee valley with the fjordlike lake Achensee.

Ochsenkopf is not part of the Karwendel National Park but it is a wilderness area (Landschaftsschutzgebiet). 

On our descent we will pass through the pilgrimage church, St. Georgenberg, which has a restaurant and we will grab a beer / cake while we enjoy the view here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/YQkE9FMc83jrR1KZ9?g_st=ic

As we reach the river we will enter the gorge of Wolfsklamm - passing over steps, ridges and rocky canyons alongside impressive waterfalls. The wild waters of the Stallenbach, Gamsbach and Georgenbergerbach mountain rivers carved increasingly deeper inroads into the limestone of the Karwendel Mountains, forming this extraordinary gorge.

We will end our trip at Stans Bhf.
