Situated at an elevation of 1,765 metres in the heart of the National Park Karwendel, the Karwendelhaus has been welcoming guests since 1908. It is an important base for long-distance hikes and (e-)bike tours through the vast Karwendel mountain range. Hut keeper Andreas Ruech and his family offer a warm welcome in the over 100-year-old parlour and on the sun terrace with its breathtaking views.
The highest peak in the Karwendel range, the 2,749-metre Birkkarspitze, is a 3-hour hike away.
