Karwendel hiking guide

<div>The Karwendel, that primeval mountain range between the Inntal valley and the Sylvenstein reservoir, where Munich's green Isar rises, is one of the most popular hiking areas, and not just for day trippers from Upper Bavaria. An excellently maintained network of trails and numerous managed mountain huts and alpine pastures attract nature lovers and mountaineers from near and far in summer and autumn.</div><div>Although mass tourism development has not stopped at the Karwendel mountains, large parts of this almost 1000 square kilometer mountain group have been preserved as an unspoilt natural landscape. There is only one place where you can drive deep into the Karwendel in your own car, namely via the toll road into the Eng. Otherwise, almost the entire mountain range - incidentally the largest contiguous nature reserve in the Eastern Alps - guarantees unadulterated enjoyment of nature and even a touch of solitude from time to time.</div><div>In 57 tour suggestions, this Rother hiking guide takes you to hiking and scrambling peaks against a grand backdrop, including many well-known classics, but also a number of "new discoveries", to Gerölleinöden and flower gardens, to venerable Benedictine abbeys, to the idyll of the Kleiner Ahornboden, to the Eng and in the footsteps of royal hunting parties. It covers the entire spectrum of hiking from "alpine pasture hopping" to panoramic summit tours and via ferratas and has been completely updated and revised for the tenth edition.</div>
