For cyclists coming south out of Germany from Garmisch-Partenkirchon into Austria and then heading eastwards, a wonderful day over fairly easy rough stuff can be had, avoiding the traffic-ridden Inn Valley and spending the day in the peace and quiet of the mountains. At Scharnitz - where accommodation can be obtained - a rough jeep road starts from the main road in the centre of the village on the north side of the river bridge and is signposted to Karwendelhaus.
