Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards Spittal and forward towards Lienz (a little after Spittal highway ends). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through Drau valley, which brings us in Italy. The road further leads past Dobbiaco / Toblach and Brunico / Bruneck. We still continue on the main road and then we join the highway towards Austria (direction Brenner, Innsbruck). In Innsbruck we continue on the highway which runs towards the west by the river Inn (at the highway junction direction Garmisch). Highway we soon leave at exit for Garmisch. The road then starts ascending towards the mountain pass Scharnitz where there is a border between Austria and Germany. From the mountain pass, we then descend on the German side and follow the signs for Garmisch-Partenkirchen. When we drive through the mentioned settlement we follow the signs for Austria and settlement Ehrwald. A little before the end of the settlement Garmisch-Partenkirchen we turn left where signs »Alpspitze« point us to. We follow this road to a large parking lot at the bottom station of cableways Alpspitze and Kreuzeckbahn.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go towards the bottom station of the cableway Alpspitze and at first, we cross a railway track, and then we go on a macadam road, that runs between the both cableways. At the beginning macadam path leads past few houses, and by the path, we will also notice signposts, which marks the path towards the mountain hut Kreuzeck. The road then turns left and starts steeply ascending through the forest. Further road runs occasionally on a ski slope from which a view opens up towards the settlement Garmisch-Partenkirchen and then again through the forest.
Later, the path brings us on a wider macadam road on which we continue right following the signs »Kreuzeck«. We follow gentle wide road only a short time because signposts soon point us to the left on a steeper road by the ski slope. Here the path leads past the artificial lake Speichersee and later again joins wider road. For some time we again walk on the mentioned road, and then signs for Kreuzeck point us to the right on a footpath.
Here we are then ascending in zig-zags through the forest, soon we come again out of the forest and a view opens up also towards the summit Zugspitze. A short ascent follows by the ski slope and the path brings us to private mountain hut Trögelhütte.
At the mountain hut, we continue right on a narrow macadam road which then after a shorter ascent, we leave and we continue on a footpath. Further, we are ascending through the forest and by the path, we will also notice a sign on which there are writen various verses. Higher, the path brings us to the mountain pasture Kreuzalm where we again join the macadam road. On the mountain pasture where a beautiful view opens up towards the summit Alpspitze we continue right on a macadam road on which we soon come to the hut Kreuzeckhaus where there is also an upper station of the cableway Kreuzeckbahn.
At the crossroad, which is located little below the mountain hut we then continue left towards the mountain pasture Hochalm. The path from the crossroad slightly descends and leads us past the vantage point by which there are also different signs. Here at first from the left joins the footpath from ski jumping hills in the settlement Garmisch-Partenkirchen and then also from the right path from the settlement Hammersbach. We continue on a macadam road which soon brings us to another crossroad.
At the crossroad, we continue left on a gentle road towards the mountain pasture Hochalm, and right upward leads a little longer path over the peak Längenfelder also to the mountain pasture Hochalm. From the crossroad, the road runs towards the south and from the left joins the path Bernadeinsteig from the mountain hut Stuibenhütte. The road further slightly ascends and it brings us to the cottage on the mountain pasture Hochalm.
