Description

Take the Karwendel cable car to the starting point of the Weather Trail at around 1,500 metres above sea level. Along the trail, five information boards provide interesting facts and easy-to-understand explanations, traditional weather sayings and other interesting information.
QR codes on the information boards provide additional digital content. The information changes depending on the current weather, so there is always something different to discover in sunshine, rain or changeable conditions.
With its short walking time and easy route, the Weather Trail is also a good option in unsettled weather. The path is easy to walk even when wet and can be used with an umbrella, making it an enjoyable experience in all weather conditions.
