Schafreuter (Rißtal → Tölzer Hütte → Oswaldhütte)
Karwendel summit reached via the Bergsteigerbus to Rißtal. Mixed forest, alms, and alpine terrain, with a light cable-secured scramble for the last few meters to the summit. Tölzer Hütte for refuel.
Category: Alpine Day Trip
Distance: ~13 km point-to-point
Difficulty: Demanding (climb, light scrambling at summit)
Bail-out: Tölzer Hütte is the natural mid-route stop and the easy turnaround if you don't want to commit to the summit scramble. Bus 9569 schedule is the key planning constraint — the Bergsteigerbus is sparse.
