The starting point of this walk is a highlight in its own right! The adventure begins in Eng, near the spectacular Ahornboden with its centuries-old sycamore trees. In autumn they glow in shades of orange, gold and brown. The hike itself leads through this wonderful landscape to the Binsalm hut. Here at 1,500 metres above sea level, walkers can look forward to fine views of the autumnal Enger Tal Valley and the peaks of the Karwendel Mountains.

Trail description
The hike begins at the car park next to the Alpengasthof Eng in the Karwendel Nature Park. The route initially heads south-west along a wide track to the Eng-Alm. There, branch off right at the hut and cross over the Rißbach stream. The route then leads through open pastures. Follow the signs for "Panoramaweg, Drijaggenalm" in a southerly direction. After just five minutes, head right onto the "Panoramaweg" trail. This path winds its way through forests uphill to the Drijaggenalm (closed to the public), the highest point of the hike. From there it is just 30 minutes downhill to the Binsalm hut. Return along a forest path via the "Binsgraben" to the starting point.
