Easy trail running loop from Scharnitz via the Isarsteig and the wild and romantic Gleirschklamm, with direct river access and impressive views of the Isar, the Gleirschbach, and the Karwendel Mountains.
Important Notice:
The trail through the Gleirschklamm Gorge is currently closed.
A rockfall has destroyed a bridge, making the path impassable for the time being.
Starting at the Nature Park Information Center in Scharnitz, the route begins with a short paved section before entering the forest. The trail follows the Isarsteig towards Scharnitzer Alm, then turns right into the woods just before reaching the alm.
A short, steep climb leads to a gently ascending natural trail into the Karwendel Valley, running above the Isar. The route then descends into the Gleierschklamm, where a technically demanding trail awaits.
From there, the trail follows the Isar back towards Scharnitzer Alm, near which a Kneipp facility offers a perfect refreshment stop. The return follows the same path back to the starting point.
The indicated running time is just a guideline and depends on your personal fitness level.
By train to Scharnitz train station, then a 10-minute walk to the starting point at the Nature Park Information Center.
All real-time connections can be found in the route planner.
