Trail to the Isar
Starting Point

Die Tour

Hike from Gasthof Wiesenhof to the Pfeishütte via the alternative trail, avoiding the Gleirschklamm gorge.

Embark on this alternative hike via the road if it is bad weather or you are not surefooted. A wide gravel path winds its way up to the Möslalm. From the Gleirschhöhe, a narrow path leads you down to the Isar River and then steadily ascends again to the road and finally to the Möslalm. From here you continue to follow the path to the Pfeishütte.

Sicherheitshinweise

Today you may be walking past a few different areas where cows graze. Although generally very docile and used to walkers, keep your distance and never turn your back on a cow that is behaving strangely or aggressive. Be particularly vigilant around cows with calves. 

Keep a close eye on the weather forecast. In the mountains, the weather can change very quickly. Do not stay in the mountains during thunderstorms.
