Let's enjoy together a scenic route in wild Karwendel! We take the train till Gießenbach in Tirol.

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. 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. I we have enough time and the route is ok, we could crossing the beautiful Ehnbachklamm extra. We finally reach Hochzirl station, where we catch the train back to Munich.

Please be punctual. We need to buy group tickets. The train leaves at 7,13 but we want to sit in appropriate advance. The hike is in Austria, that means All travellers need to show either a negative COVID test or proof of vaccination/past infection upon entry.
