Deep down in the Schlossbachklamm gorge, you have the feeling that you are really standing at the foot of the Karwendel. At the top, trains wind their way through tunnels and over bridges - like a rabbit warren.
Easy to moderately difficult tour, mostly downhill, with the Schlossbachklamm gorge as a scenic highlight. From Reith bei Seefeld station, the route runs parallel to the Karwendelbahn line to Hochzirl station. On a narrow but comfortable path, partly over wooden bridges, down into the rocky gorge. At the top, the trains cross the gorge on a high bridge. Then a short steep ascent. From Hochzirl there is a train to Innsbruck or Seefeld or Scharnitz or Garmisch-Partenkirchen every 30 to 60 minutes.
Attention: The Schlossbachklamm Gorge is closed since 31.10 and is expected to reopen at the beginning of May.
The Schlossbachklamm Gorge offers a typical gorge landscape with small waterfalls. Especially on hot summer days, the direct access to the water invites you to take a relaxing break – a refreshing alternative to the swimming pool.
Starting from the Reith train station, the path first follows a section of the old Römerstraße before turning left onto the Leithener Waldweg (Cultural Hiking Trail). This path runs above the railway line and leads to the Leithen train station. From there, a pleasant forest trail takes you down into the Schlossbachklamm Gorge.
Halfway down, you can already see the viaduct, which the centuries-old Karwendel Railway crosses. Once you reach the Schlossbach stream, a small wooden bridge takes you across. Then, a picturesque forest path leads uphill to Hochzirl.
Once there, you walk along the asphalt road past Hochzirl Hospital to the train station. The return journey to Reith bei Seefeld can either be taken on foot through the Schlossbach Gorge again or easily by train.
