August 31, 2024,Scharnitz - Gleirschklamm - Hochwaldweg

Today we made a little detour to Austria (Scharnitz) in the middle of the Karwendel Nature Park.
Parked for free at the train station in Scharnitz (7 euros at the information center) and then walked along the Isar right into this beautiful gorge. Although there is no admission charge, this gorge is not crowded and is a great alternative to …

Due to the event, we had to park the car at P4. Be sure to get a parking ticket there. Have the right coins (€ 4 for a day ticket) with you.
Walking tour in this direction is recommended. At the end of the tour, stop by the Scharnitzer Alm and enjoy a Kaiserschmarren.

May 17, 2022,Österreich - Scharnitz - Gleierschklamm

An incredibly beautiful round over the Isarsteig and through a largely untouched gorge. It goes back over the height with fabulously beautiful far-reaching views. A head for heights and sure-footedness should be there. Definitely stop off at the Scharnitz-Alm and eat a sausage salad and a Kaiserschmarn!

Have fun!

June 27, 2026,Rundtour zur Gleirschklamm von Scharnitz

With these temperatures, a gorge visit is just the thing.
The tour was not too long and there were always shady sections.
At the end, we cooled our feet in the Isar.

A stop at the Scharnitzer Alm is definitely recommended.

August 7, 2025,Mittenwald, Tag 6- Gleirschklamm🇦🇹

Today we went to Tyrol.
Thank God my wife is fit again.
We set off from the parking lot at the Nature Park Information Center, €7 day ticket.
After buying the ticket, we set off, and there was a sign saying the Gleirschbach Gorge was closed due to rockfall.
So we thought about it and replanned. We continued on the …

Today we went to Scharnitz in Tyrol to the Gleirschklamm. We were lucky again in terms of weather: Sunny 22 degrees ☀️ only had to give way to clouds and a few raindrops ☁️ later in the afternoon - by then we were already done 😉
I actually wanted to write a lot more, but Komoot has once again managed …

A very beautiful hike at this time of year, when the forest is changing color. I think it's also pleasantly cool along the gorge on hot summer days.
