Description

From the valley station of the Karwendel cable car, the trail first climbs up to the Bärenbadalm. From there, it heads south on a steadily rising path over the Weißenbachsattel (1,695 metres) to the Weißenbachalm (1,607 metres). The route then descends continuously along a forest path to the Weißenbachhütte (not serviced) and continues to the Lärchenwiese district of Maurach. The destination is Seespitz - a district and shipping pier of the same name on the southern shore of Lake Achensee. You can return to Pertisau by regional bus or by ship, or walk back along the lakeside path.
