MTB tour around the Zwölferkopf mountain
NEW NEW NEW Since spring 2020 there is a new MTB tour with the promising name "Around the Zwölferkopf". A new forest road opens up the north side up to the top station. Don't miss to visit the Karwendel mountain hut. The descent is via the "Hörndlstraße (forest road from the Bärenbadalm hut) down in the Tristenau valley.
For the descent from Mt Zwoelferkopf, we recommend the following routes. However, we must first point out that these are all hiking trails. Therefore, riding your bike here requires an appropriate biking style, as well as friendly behaviour towards hikers using these trails:
- Past the “Alpengasthof” alpine inn and along the circular hiking trail, then follow the tunnel path to the village of Pertisau.
- Over the Baerenbadalm pasture and the Perchertal valley, on to the Krautriedweg path. From there, descend in to Maurach.
The transportation of bikes on the upward journey with a Karwendel cable car ticket to Mt Zwoelferkopf is free of charge. If you ride with the Lake Achensee adventure card, the transportation fee for any sports equipment is to pay extra.
