Thursday: Excursion to the Tiroler Steinöl® distillery
Exclusive hike to the shale oil distillery in the Bächental valley. From the car park at the Christlum lifts in Achenkirch, we hike through the Unterautal valley and up to the Gröbner Hals (1,650 metres) where we enjoy the splendid view of the Karwendel nature park. We descend to the shale oil distillery, where we can have refreshments before we start our exclusive tour through the distillery. After the tour, a bus will pick us up and we will travel back to our starting point past the Sylvenstein reservoir.
The trail difficulty is easy to moderate, however some endurance is required (700 metres elevation gain during the ascent).
Please note: The 4-hour duration includes walking time as well as explanations by the hiking guide during the tour.
Infrastructure on site
The excursions to the Tiroler Steinöl® distillery are only available until 17 September 2026. Therefore, the Nature Watch Tour to the Moosenalm will start on 24 September 2026 instead of 8 October 2026.
Closure
From 14 September 2026 to probably 31 October 2026, there will be an unavoidable total closure on the hiking trail between the Steinölbrennerei and the Gröbner Hals.
Diversion
There is no alternative route.
