You can ride a mountain bike up to the Fischbachalm. However, this route is only flat at the beginning, then it gets steeper and at times fierce.

Geographically, the small town is located directly at the foot of the Karwendel Mountains and has the Isar River flowing through it. The idyllic location promises not only dreamlike views of the surrounding mountains, but also unforgettable nature experiences.

Krün is known for its impressive landscape and high recreational value. Tourist attractions include the parish church of St. Sebastian and Elmau Castle with its luxurious spa area.

Cultural highlights are offered above all during the numerous events such as the traditional Almabtrieb or the music summer. Both locals and tourists get their money's worth here.

Those who enjoy culinary delights should definitely try the regional specialities - these include, for example, Kaiserschmarrn or liver dumplings with sauerkraut.

Outdoor activities are particularly popular in Krün: hiking, cycling or skiing - here every sports enthusiast gets their money's worth. While hikes to the peaks of the Karwendel mountains are recommended in summer, perfectly groomed slopes entice you to ski or snowboard in winter.

Even when it rains, there are plenty of options in Krün: The local museum or a visit to the nearby town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen offer variety.

The most beautiful spot in Krün is hard to name, as the landscape offers breathtaking views at every turn. Whether on the banks of the Isar, on a mountain hike or in the Elmau castle park - there is always something to discover here.

Overall, it can be said: Krün is a perfect destination for all nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. The Travel Guide recommends a stay in the summer months as well as in winter for skiing - but Krün also has its charm outside of these seasons and is always worthwhile as a destination!

    Schön abwechslungsreich. Beeindruckende Natur. Die erste Stunde Forstweg, aber später tolle Waldpfade und schöne Ausblicke ins Tal und auf die Gipfel. Evtl noch erweiterbar um die Hüttlebachklamm.

    Bin die Tour heute gefahren, allerdings zunächst Richtung Wallgau und Krün. Den 32%-Anstieg am Beginn der Partnachtklamm wollte ich mir ersparen und lieber am Ende runterfahren. Die Tour ist auch nach der Winterpause gut zu fahren, technisch einfach und auch konditionell nicht zu anspruchsvoll. Vielleicht ein paar Teerstraßenkilometer zu viel, aber insgesamt eine schöne Tour mit schönen Ausblicken.

    Kann man gut variieren bzw erweitern: Ich bin andere Richtung gegangen von Klais, dann ca oberhalb von Kranzbach eine Forstwegabzweigung nördlich nach oben auf den Höhenrücken zu mehreren Almhütten, dann zum Hirzeneck, etwas runter auf Weg zur Elmauer Alm. Auf diesem Abschnitt keine Markierungen oder Wegweiser, aber man kann sich auf den freien Wiesenflächen gut orientieren. (Empfiehlt sich während der Almweidezeit wohl eher nicht oder nur bedingt) Dann wie beschrieben zum Eckbauer und runter zum Skistadion. Noch grad als Halbtagestour machbar, zieht sich etwas, besonders der Abstieg am Ende.

    Eine schöne Runde, die vor allem ab dem Barmsee sehr schön zu gehen ist. Anfangs etwas Asphalt, aber dafür immer wieder tolle Rundumblicke.

    Schöne Tour in einsamer Landschaft. Ab Gipfel bis Wallgau teils spärlich markiert bzw beschildert, so dass man aufmerksam sein sollte, um auf dem richtigen Weg zu bleiben.

    Top Bike & Hike- Tour, garantiert wenig Leute unterwegs, so gut wie überhaupt keine Markierung und Beschilderung vorhanden, deshalb nichts für Anfänger! Schon der Einstieg ab Fischbachalm ist alles andere als gut zu finden!! Es geht nach Osten-Nordosten die Wiese rauf und nicht auf dem sichtbaren Pfad südöstlich los!!! Weiter oben auch nicht alles so leicht zu finden, man sollte so bergerfahren sein auch mal notfalls weglos zu steigen!

    Super Parkplatz für 5 Euro direkt an der Isar. Im Anschluss super Badestellen im Kiesbett. Sehr schöne Tour mit super Aussicht, toller kleiner Soianalm (mit Übernachtung möglich & schönen weiteren Touren), leckerem Essen & Kuchen. Hier wird sogar der Forstweg am Ende verziehen. Nach der Tour baden an der Isar ein muss !!!
