Arrival by public transport
Take the public transport to the starting point at Seefeld Railway Station.
A leisurely walk to the so-called “Gateway to the Karwendel” with refreshment stops and an ever-changing landscape along the way.
Seefeld to Scharnitz, or in other words, from the heart of the region to the "Gateway to the Karwendel". This relatively relaxed stage of the Seefeld High Plateau Winter Multi-day Hike passes through varied landscapes with some refreshment stops en route.
Stage 2 leads winter hikers to Scharnitz. The path to the "Gateway to the Karwendel" once again starts in Seefeld's pedestrian zone but heads in a different direction. From Seefeld train station, go right past the village square into Münchner Straße and walk along to the Seefelderhof (turning onto Wasserfallweg).
After a few minutes, Wasserfallweg merges into Heilbadstraße, where you turn left and come to a gravel path. From there, follow the signs toward Triendlsäge. This charmingly located guesthouse, nestled between forest and stream, is hard to miss. From Triendlsäge, continue right towards Bodenalm (closed in winter). From the Bodenalm, the trail continues - parallel to the cross-country ski trail - to the village of Gießenbach.
Once there, you reach the second refreshment stop, the Gasthof Ramona. After passing Gasthof Ramona, follow trail no. 19, turning right onto Sportplatzweg. The final stretch brings you to the residential area on Hirlanda-Ellmann-Weg and then you walk along Innsbrucker Straße through the small municipality of Scharnitz towards the train station. There are regular trains back to Seefeld. For something to eat along the way, Cafe Länd is within easy walking distance.
Refreshment stops along the way:
• Gasthof Triendlsäge
• Gasthof Ramona
• Cafe Länd
Optional extension:
• continue over Riedboden to Mittenwald – additional walking time of approx. 1 hour 45 minutes (approx. 6.72 km to Mittenwald). Return to Seefeld by train (the Scharnitz-Seefeld section is free of charge with the PlateauCard).
Scenic highlights and viewpoints:
• Riedboden between Scharnitz and Mittenwald (if you extend the tour)
Option for shortening the tour with public transport:
