A mini Alpine adventure in 3 days

This short but crisp tour is ideal as a "warmup" program for our mini adventure in three days through the Wetterstein and Karwendel mountains around Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. It is mostly uphill, various huts (with Refreshments) and of course the wonderful Alpine scenery along narrow gorges, rushing waterfalls and picturesque bridges but still provide an entertaining driveway towards Reintalangerhütte.At the latest at about ten kilometers, when you have reached the Bock hut and for the first time opens the panoramic view of the Reintal and the imposing mountains around, you will immediately forget the effort of the last few kilometers and a satisfied grin will put on your face. And that's just the beginning!A few more kilometers to the next highlight. The goal of the tour is the Reintalangerhütte, which you approach on a beautiful trail. In the meantime, this trail is quite steep - just a short break is no shame and so you have the opportunity to enjoy the stunning scenery up here in peace. At the top, the hut is waiting for you. It is really idyllic and not accessible by road or cable car. In the middle of the mountains, you can enjoy the tranquility and move into your bed and breakfast. And look forward to the sunrise the next morning.

The second tour of our mini-alpine adventure takes you from the Wetterstein into the Karwendelgebirge. Over 70 kilometers and around 2,000 vertical meters are already a challenge. Beautiful trails and great intermediate goals will inspire you so much that the effort gets into the background and you will experience a pleasurable day on the bike.For a very impressive experience, we recommend getting up early. How about a breakfast at sunrise in the middle of the Alps at 1,369 meters altitude? So the day will start ingeniously - especially the early morning hours in the mountains let you experience a very special atmosphere, which is simply priceless and let forget the early wake-up call immediately. If you start early, it's best to wind down the Windstopper jacket after breakfast, as the tour starts with a terrific downhill. Over ten kilometers of the finest downhill fun await you.Now it will be really warm for you for the first time when you crank up the beautiful but sometimes steeper trail towards the Elmau Alm. The cooling follows immediately: A nice descent takes you to Ferchen- and then to the Lautersee, so you have the agony of choice in terms of cool refreshment. Or is it more like a little strengthening in an urban environment? Then there is a stop in Mittenwald. The Upper Bavarian market right between the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains is known for its colorfully painted houses and the impressive Alpine panorama all around. And for his violin-making history. If you fancy some culture - the Violinmaking Museum would be a hot tip.Well-fortified you are ready for the second part of the tour, which leads you through the beautiful Karwendel up to your nocturnal stay in the Plumsjochhütte. It is located at 1,633 meters altitude and is considered one of the most rustic and comfortable cabins in the Karwendel. Here is a rustic sleeping camp and Tyrolean home cooking for you. So far, there is still one or the other increase to overcome. Take your time, enjoy the great views and the beautiful nature - then time flies by and the Uphills are completely in the background.

A beautiful bike tour through the Karwendel and the Blauberge awaits you today as the finale of our mini-alpine adventure and although this tour is quite long, it offers a great feature: it goes much longer downhill than uphill. In combination with numerous pastures, huts and a beautiful lake, we would almost say that it is a real pleasure trip. Of course, around 84 kilometers are not entirely without - but quite feasible as a day tour.You start from the Plumsjoch hut at the highest point of the tour and enjoy for the first time ten kilometers of pure alpine descent, which spits you out in Pertisau am Achensee. Here is a moment of relaxation announced. You follow the bike path along the lake shore, which is not particularly demanding in terms of driving technique, but is beautifully situated and permanently provides you with an impressive view of the lake and the almost vertical mountain walls. Pretty sure you have not often driven on such a nice asphalt road.Do not worry - it's offroad again. Shortly after Achenkirch, the route bends and you are again directly away from civilization. Beautiful trails lead along the south side of the Blauberge up to the Gufferthütte, which entices with a tempting menu for a long lunch break. It would be about halfway here, but it's just one of several opportunities. The Archduke Johann Klause and the Ackernalm are however much more rustic.From the Ackernalm there are still about 25 kilometers to the stage finish in Oberaudorf, but actually it goes from here, except for a few very short exceptions, almost only downhill. Enjoy again the alpine panorama and the sheer endless descent into the valley, which you can crown with a refreshing jump in the Thiersee, before you roll the last kilometers into the small health resort in the Bavarian Inn valley. From here you come super easy by train back to the starting point of the tour to Garmisch-Partenkirchen (and from there to Munich, if you parked your car there).
