Tips from the Community

The tour is ideal for sunny days and those who prefer to be mostly alone. It's recommended to climb here on very good days when the other popular destinations are busier than usual. The view from the Grünkopf is very beautiful, with a panoramic view of the Karwendel Mountains.

The tour is very beautiful, but it involves steep climbs and descents. Hiking poles are recommended.

The Leutaschklamm is perhaps not as well known as the Partnachklamm, for example, but it is definitely worth seeing and worthwhile.
