The second trail leads into the Rißbach valley, a dry habitat that is nevertheless full of life and dynamism. The third path leads to a vantage point from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Isar and the Wetterstein mountains. A short section downhill and then up to the Kanapee, where the group can expect a breathtaking view of the Rißbach valley and the Karwendel mountains. Although these places are physically separate from each other, they are nevertheless inextricably linked.
