Karwendelrunde mit dem MTB

The classic Karwendel mountain bike tour starts at Scharnitz train station (alternatively: parking in Scharnitz at the nature park information center): Turn off at the church towards the Karwendel valleys, past the nature park information center and into the Karwendel valley, always along the Karwendelbach stream to the Hochalmsattel saddle not far from the Karwendelhaus. From the saddle, the route descends via numerous hairpin bends to the Kleiner Ahornboden. Via the Johannestal valley you reach Hinterriß, the only permanent settlement in the Karwendel.

After a short flat section, the next ascent to Vorderbachsau and a stream crossing follow (please note: the Fermersbach can carry a lot of water in spring and after heavy rainfall!) Then there is a final steep section to the Fereinalm. Here you can stop for a bite to eat. The forest road from the alp continues leisurely to Mittenwald and via the Riedboden you can then complete the circle at the starting point of the tour in Scharnitz.
