#4 - Schöttelkarspitze Loop
Krün, Bavaria, GermanyLength: 12.1 mi • Est. 7 h 49 m
Very long conditionally demanding trail if you do it in one day. Alternatively, you can divide the route also on two days, with the first day hiking to Soiernhaus and on the second day from Soiernhaus to Schöttelkarspitze and the descent. Scenicwise, this is unique route - expect a mountain backdrop with interesting rock formations and the two emerald green Soiernseen in the basin between Schöttelkarspitze, Soiernspitze and Krapfenkarspitze. In other words - a real insider tip!
From the trail parking lot in Krün (free) start, first over the Isar bridge and after this the wide hiking (forest) away (No. 364) in the direction of Fischbachalm long and steadily uphill. Exactly at the height of the Fischbachalm branch off to the right of the idyllic Lakaiensteig. This narrow path initially runs harmlessly over pasture and forest areas, before being partially exposed and only partly covered by cable insurance on the eastern mountain flank of the foothills winds to Schöttelkarspitze along. If you are not sure-footed, you should stay on the wide forest path from Fischbachalm. The Lakaiensteig runs without significant gradients, since already at the Fischbachalm the height of 1402 m is reached and to the Soiernhaus on a walking distance of about 3.5 km only 220 Hm are to be mastered. The further ascent to the Schöttelkarspitze is not particularly difficult, but some places require surefootedness. The last few meters to the summit are probably the most difficult, especially in the descent, because the path runs mostly over steep boulders and (loose) rock and thereby leads over crash-prone areas - missteps are absolutely forbidden here.
