Route outline
From the car park at Gasthof Esterhammer follow the forest trail signposted as the Bible Way and hike along the contemplative sculptures to the highest spruce tree in Tirol, anatural monument which is 54 metres high.The hike continues up to the ruins of the Rottenburg, and the Versöhnungsstiege (reconciliation staircase), a nice resting point with a fireplace and Notburgakapelle.
In medieval times Rottenburg was a gathering place for noblemen and aristocrats, and was the economic hub and administrative centre of Tirol. On the return journey a stop-off with your children at the natural playground Knippingpark is de rigueur, before you reach the starting point at Gasthof Esterhammer. A stop-off in the guest garden at Gasthof Esterhammer, with its traditional chestnut trees, is a rewarding way to finish.
Variant: Those who want to continue hiking for another hour can follow the route markers on a path which goes from Rottenburg to the pilgrimage chapel Maria Brettfall (places to stop off for refreshments available).
From there you can enjoy the superb panoramic view into the Karwendel, Rofangebirge and Zillertal. Head back on the footpath and along the road to Rotholz, or downhill on the road and through the avenue of linden trees, and back to the starting point at the car park in Gasthof Esterhammer. The path from Rottenburg is not suitable for prams.
Special features: A hike which provides relaxation for body and soul, in healing natural surroundings, far removed from the hectic pace and stress of daily life.
