Explore the region
Between the Isar, mountain lakes and the Karwendel.
The campsite lies in a region that offers everything from gentle walks to full days in the mountains. Here is a carefully selected guide for your stay.
Choose well
Not every day needs a summit.
Some days lead along the Isar, others through a gorge or up the Kranzberg. And sometimes a stroll through Mittenwald, with its painted houses and violin-making history, is exactly enough.
We have selected walks and destinations that can be reached directly from the campsite or after a short drive. Current trail conditions, opening times and dates are available through the Alpenwelt Karwendel links or from the relevant operator.
Four routes to get you started

The details come from official route descriptions. Weather, season and personal fitness remain decisive. Always check current trail conditions before setting off.
Leutasch Spirit Gorge
Walkways, bridges and deep views into the gorge make this route special. Grated floors and steps mean it is not suitable for dogs, pushchairs or wheelchairs.

Exploring by bike
Cycling between the Isar and the Karwendel
Relaxed routes along the Isar start close to the campsite. The regional cycle network connects Mittenwald, Krün and Wallgau, while official mountain bike routes lead into the surrounding mountains. Always check the weather, route conditions and possible closures before setting off.
Leisurely rides along the Isar
The Isar cycle path and the connections between Mittenwald, Krün and Wallgau are well suited to relaxed day trips. Choose a route that matches your fitness, the weather and the time available.
