A hike to St.Magdalena (1287 m)
Details
Hello Tiroler explorers! 🥾🏔️
Join us this Sunday for a scenic hike to St. Magdalena, a historic former monastery nestled in the Karwendel mountains above Absam.
Starting from Halltal (bus stop: Eichat b. Hall Bettelwurfsiedlung), we’ll follow a well-marked forest road through the beautiful valley, passing old mining landmarks and mountain huts along the way. We will make a lunch break at Alpengasthof St. Magdalena before heading back via the same route (or a scenic alternative trail if conditions allow).
The hike is about 8.5 km long with roughly 500 m of elevation gain, taking around 3 hours of walking time.
