Zirbenweg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Incredibly beautiful mountain trail with amazing great nature. Take a camera with you and go best at a time when the rush of almighty flowers. The whole way is full of it. The rocks are also a real eye-catcher. They often look as if someone had purposely put them down in blocks. The pine pines are also great to look at if they grow from the smallest crevices or "directly" on stone.

On the way there is still a small highlight for me: You can deviate a few meters from the path (small dangling, from the normal path of clearly visible) and go through a "cave" of boulders.

Generally, very sturdy footwear and partially stable footing are necessary. In principle, the path can also be gone by children and older or untrained people, since the biggest difficulty here are a few shorter, narrow nature trails and many stone paths (chunks, plates, ...).

Viggarspitze

Highlight • Summit

The Viggarspitze is not visited as much as the nearby Patscherkofel. On top of the summit you have a beautiful view of the Tux Alps, the Inn Valley and above all the steeply rising cliffs of the Karwendel.

Glungezer Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Delicious food, various sleeping options (room, camp or tent) and a sun terrace await you in the hut at 2,610 meters. The "Spaghetti à la Kathmandu" according to Sherpa Purba's secret recipe are particularly popular after a long day of hiking. And then there is a Glungezer spirit for the nightcap. If you want to stay here, it is worth making a reservation in advance.

Zirbenweg: Patscherkofel Mountain Station to Tulfeinal

Highlight • Trail

Zirbenwweg is a real highlight, especially when the weather is good. If you have the energy left, I can absolutely recommend the various peaks along the way.
