Location

The Karwendel mountain range is part of the northern limestone Alps. It is located in Austria, to the north of Innsbruck and it crosses the border into Germany. The border communities are Innsbruck, Seefeld, Scharnitz, Mittenwald (Germany), Hinterriss, Pertisau and Schwaz

Attainability

The Karwendel can easily be reached by car, train and even airplane. From Innsbruck there are regular trains to Munich (2-3 hrs, either directly or via Mittenwald, Scharnitz and Seefeld) and Vienna. Planes fly into Innsbruck which connects to several European cities. Coming by train is best, as you are visiting a nature reserve (We want to keep the nature that we can visit, don't we?). The train will bring you to most places on the south, east and west border: Aachenkirch, Schwaz, Innsbruck, Seefeld, Scharnitz and Mittenwald. These are all common places to enter the Karwendel.
