Route outline

 

The route goes past Alpengasthof Eng (opportunity to stop-off for refreshments) through the Alpine village of Eng (opportunity to stop-off for refreshments, definitely sample some Eng cheese) on a forest road via Binsalm (managed) to the Western Lamsenjoch, and continues on a short section where you have to push the bike to Lamsenjochhütte (managed). Numerous panorama views open up to the rugged scenery of the Karwendel.

At the Western Lamsenjoch one of the still very rare official trails using the Tirol MTB model begins. Here, despite the confined space available, hikers and MTBs share the route – so please take care, you are on the long distance hiking trail 01, the Nordalpenweg! Even in exposed locations manoeuvres, which are quite safe to do on flat terrain, can quickly run into unforeseen problems. On the Binsalm (Niederleger) and also at Lamsenjochhütte there is the chance to stop-off for some excellent refreshments. The Lamsenjoch Trail mentioned, out and back, is the technical highlight of the tour. It is intended for cyclists who have tackled the narrow gravel hairpins down to Gramaier Grund. Please keep your distance here! Very dangerous. The tour outlined here goes via the Lamsenjoch trail back via Binsalmen in Eng.

Characteristics:

The route runs along the signposted section 456. Very challenging dreamy tour, pure Karwendel, rough roads. Short pushing section.
