Walkthrough the dramatic mountains to the Karwendelhaus Hut
The trip continues through the dramatic mountains, from Almdorf walking along high trails, past the almost vertical Laliderer mountain faces to the Falkenhütte. It is the perfect place to rest your legs before taking on the final stretch of today's walk. Hiking leisurely through the lofty mountain forest to the Kleiner Ahornboden and finally through sparse pine trees to the Karwendelhaus, a meeting place for mountaineers situated directly below the Bikarspitze summit.
In the shop next to the hotel and in the farm store in Almdorf you can buy delicious alpine cheese and fresh alpine products for your picnic

Refreshment Options
Falkenhütte
Always wear good walking boots with a robust sole, and take waterproofs with you. Take plenty of water with you (min. 1 litre) and don’t forget sunscreen!
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.
Always allow plenty of time for your hike. The walking times indicated do not include breaks. Breaks for photos and a rest need to be added to the specified times.
Make sure you find out about current weather conditions and keep an eye on weather changes. Thunderstorms can gather very quickly in the Alps.
Do not leave the designated hiking trails!
