Hochljoch saddle on trail between Eng Alm and Falkenhütte, Karwendel Nature Park, Austria, Europe

Hochljoch saddle on trail between Eng Alm and Falkenhütte, Karwendel Nature Park, Austria, Europe. Directions: From the Vorderriss Valley, in Bavaria, Germany, turn south into the Rißbach valley, enter Austria, and pay a fee at the Karwendel Park entrance station. Admire the beauty of Großer Ahornboden, an ancient pasture idyllicly sprinkled with maple trees under the soaring cliffs of the classic U-shaped Hinterisstal (Upper Riss Valley), carved by glaciers. Humans first settled here in 4500 BC. In 1927, Austria declared the majestic maple trees a natural monument. Park at Die Eng Alpengasthof und Naturhotel, which provides comfy accomodations. Hike up to the saddle of Hochljoch and onwards down and up to Falkenhütte (9.1 miles round trip with 3000 feet cumulative gain). This is part of Austria’s Via Alpina Red Trail (continuous with the Swiss Via Alpina).
