Description

The starting point is at the Mühlberg parking lot P4. First, follow the railroad tracks towards Gießenbach/Seefeld until the forest road turns sharply left. Continue on this forest road up to the plateau and the former lift station. On the way to Mühlberg, there is also a Heart viewing platform, which offers a wonderful view of Scharnitz and the surrounding mountains. After this short detour, return to the hiking trail where you will be rewarded with a panoramic view at the top of the Mühlberg. Return via the same path. As a variation, sure-footed hikers can take a path through the so-called Bärenklamm gorge. This path starts approximately 100 meters before the Mühlberg parking lot and ascends along a narrow trail with steep hairpin bends (a small stream must be crossed once). After a while, the path rejoins the forest road as described above.
