Schönfeldjoch und Wildenkarjoch (5:37h, 1356hm) 🔴

📅 Hike Dates

We take the BergBus 396 from Munich towards the Ursprungtal, at the border to Tyrol. This roundtour in the Kufsteiner Berge leads along the ridge between the Schönfeldjoch and the Wildenkarjoch — a scenic summit hike that requires some sure-footedness (Trittsicherheit) and a good head for heights.

The trail is partly eroded and the ridge has steep drops on both sides, so caution is needed. The descent is steep with loose sand and scree (Geröll) in places. Because of the alpine character, wear good boots, and poles are recommended.

Seating on the BergBus is limited: a seat reservation is not mandatory but strongly recommended. No standing room is allowed, so without a reservation you can only board if a seat is free. I assume we can take the early bus back.
