Day 1 - From Hinterriss to the Falkenhütte
Starting point is the "Gasthof zur Post" in Hinterriss. In the information centre of the "Alpenpark Karwendel" you have the possibility to inform yourself about the Karwendel in natural history films and exhibitions before your tour. Afterwards you hike along path 231 into the outer Johannestal to Kleiner Ahornboden. From here, following the signpost "Falkenhütte", you will go to the Ladizwald and the beautifully situated Ladizalm; in Kehren to the Spielissjoch and further up to the Falkenhütte. Depending on your mood and physical condition, you can climb up to the top of the mountain "Hausberg" in the afternoon and enjoy a magnificent view of the Karwendel. You will experience the evening and the night with rustic cottage flair in front of the large rocky backdrop of the Falkenhütte.
