King's Hiking Trail in Alpenwelt Karwendel

Tour description

The 2-day tour starts in the center of Krün (accessible via the bus stop of the same name) or in Wallgau at the town hall (accessible via the bus stop of the same name). From here, the route follows a forest road to the Fischbachalm (partially managed) and from there two paths lead to the Soiernhaus, the former hunting lodge of the king. The Lakaien-Steig, which is secured with wire ropes, requires surefootedness and a head for heights. This was used by the royal servants as a shortcut, hence the name. The second option, a leisurely walk along the forest road and over the Hundstall to the Soiernhaus, was the king's way up. If your stamina allows, you can make a detour to the Schöttlkarspitze (approx. 2 hours one way). This is where the king's "Belvedere" tea pavilion once stood. The truly royal panoramic view is simply fascinating. Back past the two turquoise-blue lakes, you can enjoy the night in the Soiernhaus (DAV hut). Well rested and excellently fortified, the second day continues via the Jagersruh trail towards the Jöchel to the Soiernspitze. You then descend to the Vereiner Alm (refreshments) and the Krinner-Kofler hut, where you can also spend the night and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. After a rest, take the forest road down into the valley and follow the Jägersteig trail on the left towards the Aschauer Alm (not managed). From there, continue to the Isarhorn, where you have the option of taking the bus back to Krün/Wallgau.
