Let´s go this Monday for a beautiful medium winter hike including panoramic views to Karwendel and two canyons! 

What do you need to take part to this hike.

1) Enough fitness 

2) Cash for the train ticket (Werdenfels ticket plus Innsbruck) and in case for buying food and drinks at gasthof (many places do not accept cash, so please bring it with you)

3) Team spirit. We are a group, we must act as a group and especially in winter conditions leaving someone very far behind is never a good idea. So put always an eye to the group and no gaps in the group. 

4) Motivation to join the event. Motivation is the most important thing in life and hikes, especially in winter requires motivation. At latest please unjoin at 12 pm the day before the hike (About 18 hours before the event) unless you are not feeling good or serious issue comes. Unjoin in the evening makes it impossible to any other buddie would have wanted to join since it would be too late and creates chaos in the waiting list and in the event. Thanks for understanding

5) Please be punctual or you will buy your own ticket if you get to the station after 6,20.

A hike that goes through a less known part of Karwendel.

From Scharnitz station, we follow the Hinterautalstraße through the village. After a few minutes you come to a meadow, where you follow the signs to the right in the direction of the Isar Valley Trail. You climb a few meters steeply and turn left. Now it's almost the same height along the young Isar, whose origins are closeby, to the Scharnitzer Alm. Here you get already beautiful views of Karwendel peaks. We continue straight ahead on the forest road until you reach the Gleirschtal. Here the trail branches off into the Gleirschklamm. From there, a narrow trail leads over many bridges and footbridges through the wild Gleirschklamm. Very worthwhile, relatively short tour with brilliant scenic impressions! The trail leads slightly uphill right next to the wild water over many bridges and footbridges through the gorge. Some wire rope safety devices are attached, sure-footedness is necessary. In any case, you should stop to look at the sometimes breathtaking masses of water and watch your head in the sometimes low passages.  At the end of the gorge, follow the path along the stream to a forest road. From here we go up till we reach Oberbrünneralm with more beautiful views through the forrest path towards south Karwendel.

We finally turn north direction Gießenbach in Tirol. We go through a path that is first large and then gets narrower through rocky walls of Gießenbachklamm where the Gießenbach water is roaring through.

We reach our final destination Gießenbach in Tirol.
