Schöttelkarspitze, Mountain summit in Karwendel range, Bavaria, Germany

The Schöttelkarspitze is a mountain summit in the Karwendel range that rises to 2050 meters and features rocky terrain with several hiking routes. The landscape combines steep slopes with open areas that offer views across the alpine valley.

King Ludwig II of Bavaria had a pavilion built on the summit, which he named Belvedere and used for drinking tea. It burned down at the beginning of the 20th century. The path from the Soiernhaus up to the summit is unusually wide because it was built to the exact width needed for the royal sedan chair and its bearers.

The path from the Soiernhaus to the summit is unusually wide for a mountain route, built to exactly the width needed for King Ludwig II's sedan chair and its bearers. This width remains visible today as a trace of the royal construction work.

The summit can be reached via marked routes from Krün or Wallgau, with Soiernhaus serving as a starting point. The trails require sturdy footwear and moderate fitness, and the rocky terrain can become slippery in wet conditions.

The path from the Soiernhaus to the summit is unusually wide for a mountain route: it was built to exactly the width needed for King Ludwig II's sedan chair and its bearers, so the royal construction work can still be read from the trail itself.
