Schöttelkarspitze Loop

They are demanding summit tour in the Karwendel, Bavaria. This scenically wonderful hike is very demanding, mainly if it is undertaken as a day tour. Alternatively, the route can be divided into two stages: the crane to the Soiernhaus, the second from the Soiernhaus to the Schöttelkarspitze, and back to the starting point. When planning overnight stays, the opening times and seasonality must be considered. The hike's starting point is the (free) hikers' car park in Krün, from where it goes over the Isar bridge and on a comprehensive hiking and forest path (No. 364) in the direction of Fischbachalm for a long time. At the Fischbachalm, turn right onto the Lakaiensteig. The Fischbachalm is already at an altitude of 1402 m above sea level. NN, which is why the narrow paths initially run quite relaxed and without significant climbs through pastures and forests. In the further course, however, the hiking trail is exposed in some places and only partially secured with wire ropes. A simpler alternative that requires less sure-footedness is the vast forest path, on which you can also hike beyond the Fischbachalm. The ascent from the Soiernhaus is also not particularly technically demanding, although sure-footedness is required in some places. The situation is different on the last meters to the summit: This section is difficult, especially on the descent. It goes over loose and steep scree and through areas with a risk of falling - absolute surefootedness is a must here. Highlights of the hike: - Sorensen - Schöttelkarspitze - Soiernspitze - Krapfenkarspitz - grandiose views over the Karwendel
