Mountain hikes Achenkirch - Falkenmoosalm - Großzemmalm - Juifen - Achenkirch

Achenkirch am Achensee /
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 21 km
Duration: 7:30 h

The Vorkarwendel is the expansive, lush green front garden of the gray, towering Karwendel peaks. It is home to numerous rustic alpine pastures, hidden valleys and fantastic panoramic peaks. The Juifen is one of the most beautiful places in this garden.

Tour character

Panoramic mountain tour in the scenically beautiful Vorkarwendel. The route up the Juifen is long but technically easy, running along alpine supply routes and earthy paths through alpine meadows. Especially in early summer, the meadows around the Juifen are in full bloom. The mountain pastures on the route are not farmed.

A worthwhile alternative is to start at the Hagenkirchlein parking lot. From here, you can cover the first part of the tour by mountain bike to the beautifully situated Rotwandalm (snacks and drinks). The two routes meet just below the summit.
