Goetheweg Innsbruck
If you are in Innsbruck and only have time for one mountain hike, it should be the Goetheweg. Why? Because you’ll experience nowhere else is this stark contrast: On the one hand, the urban, the old town Driving deep under you, on the other hand, the total silence and Wilderness of the Karwendel.
The Goetheweg in Innsbruck is a high Alpine mountain trail with magnificent views over the city and into the Karwendel. He starts right at the Hafelekar mountain station of the Northern railway to over 2,200 metres, and leads eastward to the managed Pfeishütte around 1,920 m. With about 5 km in length (one-way) or. 10 km total distance and walking time of about 4.5 to 5 hours , he is one of the category of medium-difficult swing. The trail runs mostly on or just below the ridge, along the South-facing flank of the Northern chain. In part, he is with wire ropes secured a head for heights and sure-footedness are, therefore, required. Panoramic views of the Karwendel in the direction of Bavaria, Zugspitze, as well as on the Stubai and Tux Alps and the Alpine main ridge with glaciers. As a special feature, the Goetheweg is named after Goethe, was called, in the meantime, Hermann Buhl-way and since 2002 and re-named.
The Route leads over the summit, but there are branches to the gleirsch tip , and the Mannlspitze. These additional summit ascents, however, are for experienced hikers thought, because there are not marked. For the entire walk to the Goetheweg you should allow for about five hours, and the hours of operation of the nordkette cable car, take account of, to go back to the valley. For the outing, the ‘Top-of-Innsbruck Ticket’, which includes all of the tracks up to Hafelekar, and with my discount code cheaper purchased can be worth it.
FROM THE point of VIEW OF the AUTHOR:
The Goetheweg is THE trail in Innsbruck! You are walking on the Goetheweg Innsbruck in the midst of the imposing mountains in the Northern chain of. the North-chain – that’s the name of this part of the Karwendel mountains. Here the trail runs to over 2000 meters above sea level. Due to the enormous height you on all pages of the best views: the left you can in the rugged and wild Karwendel, Bavaria & Zugspitze mountain view, on the right you see the Tux Alps, the Stubai Alps and the Alpine main ridge, and the glaciers. At the same time, the Goetheweg Innsbruck but a Genußweg The trail is not technically demanding, and the altitude hold enjoyment Empire in the boundaries. You don’t have to to 2000 meters uphill Hiking, but going comfortable with the nordkette cable car up. At the top of the Hafelekar arrived, you direct your trail hike,. So I made it – you can just do:
So you can hike the Goetheweg
Go to the Goetheweg at the Hafelekar. Conveniently ride the nordkette cable car exactly up here. I was already up, and I have presented to the Hafelekar as a trip. Just as I also have the Goetheweg hike started: I’m straight from the old town of Innsbruck with the hungerburg funicular and the panoramic gondolas up to the top of the Hafelekar hazards. Can you here in the Detail in my Hafelekar contribution in the Karwendel travel blog read:
—> Hafelekar
At the Hafelekar mountain station, I find the stone coat of arms, indicating the Goetheweg. An explanation of why the Goetheweg bears the name of the famous German poet, I search in vain. Also, in my Research on the net I can’t find the answer. If Goethe is hiked itself up here? Even the Wikipedia entry gives me no answer. No matter, let’s go to the Goetheweg Innsbruck.
Where I’m from the mountain station for the last Time up to the hafelekar peak hiked am, do I turn now from the wide trail to the right on the narrow Hiking trail. So I come into the alpine terrain. This means that You need is in contrast to the hafelekar peak here is a wall equipment! Pull necessarily good Hiking shoes. The Goetheweg is an Alpine trail, narrow, with stones on the way and some of the key points to Hiking with concentration. There is frightened hikers also, a wire rope to Hold on to. Some photos of this trail gives the impression to be a via ferrata. But this is not so. It is a red (medium difficult) trail of classified climb.
I like how the wall is get created! As a narrow Band of this trail over Innsbruck. , I look in-between, going down to the city and the peaks of the Stubai Alps. Even more fascinating is the way, which was partially dug into the steep limestone cliffs of the Karwendel mountains. Very impressive! In addition, the Outlook in many Places in the Karwendel and beyond. Look at the range above the Inn valley with the many mountain peaks:
On the way to the Mannlscharte is the view of the Zugspitze in the past. Also if you can see the Zugspitze already on the way time can, here is the view of the Wetterstein mountains velvet Zugspitze is especially great. The Goetheweg is 5 miles long, so there and back, then to 10 km. It is a few meters in altitude goes up and down really steep but it is nowhere. And the slopes are not long. Expect the entire way less than 5 hours and keep in mind the opening Hours of the nordkette cable car – you need it to at the end of the promising Innsbruck hike to go back to the valley. –> all about the nordkette cable car
Experienced hikers climbing on the gleirsch top
The Goetheweg self with any of the impressive peaks, but always underneath. Once you’re in the mountains on the South side of the Karwendel, then again on the North side. You’ll find on the road, but Branches to the tips. You can also reach a summit cross. Popular the gleirsch top or the Mannlspitze is. Experienced mountaineers to go to the Rumer top.
On the Mannlspitze?
Powerful for both the gleirsch top as well as the Mannlspitze are. You see it in the picture, if you set the size of the mountain hikers in Relation to the moves on the Götheweg at the feet of the top. You see him here?
From Hafelekar you to come in around 1 hour to the top of the gleirsch top. He comes in front of the Mannlspitze, whose summit you can reach in an approximately 1.5-hour hike. Both peaks are promising. The Götheweg is selected, the two summit trails without marking. There are, however, of the many hikers paths visible. Take you, for better orientation, the map on the wall. Down at the end of the post I have the Link. Also note the time on the way back, to put you in the car down can go, otherwise you’re depending on your starting point 1500 meters in altitude and more in front of you!
After the Goetheweg to the Restaurant Seegrube
And if you want to after the hike still stop, you need to have more time to spare. I recommend to start as early as possible, so that you have in the afternoon, plenty of time. After my Goetheweg Tour I went on the Seegrube to eat. The cute waitress Steffanie has recommended to me the spare ribs, which has proved to be a good tip out.
It was a worthy conclusion to a great day on the mountain. In the Restaurant Seegrube it can also be good to sit and people watch. Here tourists meet Locals, View fans alpinists. All over the world, here are the top guest I met a student from Chile, who has made a trip to the Northern chain and simply was thrilled.
