Linderspitzen, Mountain summit between Scharnitz, Austria and Mittenwald, Germany.
Linderspitzen is a group of three summits in the Northern Karwendel chain, on the border between Bavaria and Tyrol: the Northern Linderspitze at 2,372 m, the Middle at 2,239 m and the Southern at 2,305 m. The state border follows the ridge line directly. The Mittenwalder Höhenweg, an easy via ferrata, runs along this ridge, and a simple shelter stands between the summits, jokingly fitted with a "no bicycles" road sign.
The three summits are named by position: Nördliche (2,372 m), Mittlere (2,239 m) and Südliche Linderspitze (2,305 m), from north to south. The state border follows the ridge crest directly. The Mittenwalder Höhenweg, a via ferrata along the Northern Karwendel chain, is reached from the Karwendelbahn above Mittenwald or from the Tiroler Hütte (2,153 m), closed since 2004; the Heinrich-Noe-Steig from the Brunnsteinhütte is an alternative approach.
The Mittenwalder Höhenweg runs along the crest of the Northern Karwendel chain and links the three Linderspitzen; it is a simple via ferrata reached from Mittenwald via the Karwendelbahn or from the Tiroler Hütte. Between the Linderspitzen and the Sulzleklammspitze stands a plain shelter hut, jokingly fitted with a "no bicycles" road sign.
The Mittenwalder Höhenweg via ferrata can be entered from the north via the Karwendelbahn cable car from Mittenwald, or from the south from the Tiroler Hütte (2153 m), closed since 2004. An alternative approach is the Heinrich-Noe-Steig from the Brunnsteinhütte. A simple shelter stands on the ridge between the peaks, jokingly marked with a "no bicycles" road sign.
Between the Linderspitzen and the Sulzleklammspitze, a simple shelter hut on the ridge carries a joking "Fahrradverbot" (no cycling) traffic sign. The state border follows the ridge line directly, so walkers on the Mittenwalder Höhenweg cross between Bavaria and Tyrol repeatedly.
