Tour description

The starting point is on Krottenkopfstraße in Krün. From here, the tour heads south along the high road of the Buckelwiesen to the Maria Rast chapel. Continue on the asphalt road to the turn-off towards Quicken. Turn right there, then straight on to the unrestricted level crossing. After crossing the state road, follow the gravel road until it joins the asphalt road on the left towards Elmau. Continue following the signs to Schloss Elmau (no refreshments or sightseeing possible), over a toll road (free for cyclists), past the hotel "Das Kranzbach" and 200 meters further on turn right. Before Schloss Elmau, turn left along the forest road to Ferchensee. From here, continue on a steep descent to Lautersee and to Mittenwald on Innsbrucker Straße. Keep left there and you will reach the town center. Once you reach the church, the trail leads left through the historic district of Gries and further up to the Gröbl-Alm, via the Luttenseestraße to the Schmalensee and from there via the Buckelwiesen, past the Goas-Alm back to Krün.
