Description

From the Nature Park Info Center in Scharnitz (P2), the trail leads gently along the Auweg. After crossing the Isar bridge, turn left and follow the Inrainstraße.

Shortly before reaching the railway underpass, a sign points to the right towards Adlerkanzel. At a fork in the path with a small bench, keep left and continue uphill on the marked trail. The path winds through the forest in switchbacks and becomes steeper in some sections.

At the top, you’ll reach the Adlerkanzel viewpoint, where a stunning panoramic view over the entire village awaits. It’s a perfect spot to pause, take a deep breath, and enjoy the surroundings.

For the return, simply follow the same path back down to the valley.
