Mountainbike Tour 506 – Von der Hungerburg im Inntal auf die Seegrube

Die Mountainbike Route 506 führt von der Hungerburg in Innsbruck hoch hinauf zur Seegrube – traumhafte Ausblicke ins Inntal und auf die Stubaier und Zillertaler Alpen warten! Die Tour beginnt zunächst mit mittlerer Steigung, zum Schluss geht es dann steil und anstrengend bis in den Bereich der Baumgrenze.

Kurz vor der Alm links daran vorbei und weiter auf der Forststraße bergauf bis zur nächsten Weggabelung, dort rechts auf den Höttinger Almweg abbiegen. Immer weiter bergauf dem teils steilen Forstweg bis zum Umkehrplatz folgen. Bei diesem rechts abbiegen und vorbei an der Abzweigung zur Bodensteinalm fahren. Schließlich wird nach zahlreichen Kehren die Seegrube erreicht!

Knackige Tour mit Innsbruckblick

Parkplatz bei Planötzenhof

Ab dem Parkplatz beim Planötzenhof im Ortsteil Sadrach-Hötting geht es auf schönem Forstweg zum Höttinger Bild mit dem Kirchlein. Dort weiter Richtung Höttinger Alm quert man den den Rossfall und fährt etwas später vorbei an der neu errichteten Umbrüggler Alm. Etwas später zweigt rechts der Forst Weg von der Arzler Alm ein und bild radelt man unter der Seegruben Bahm durch. Immer der Beschilderung nach zur Höttinger Alm, bis die Abzweigung zur Seegrube und Bodenstein Alm erreicht ist. Spätestens dann ist man froh dem 10,9 kg leichten #VIVAX assist unterwegs zu sein, denn bald wird es in den Serpentinen der Seegrube doch steiler. Die Aussicht von der Seegrube entschädigt mit einem grandiosen Ausblick auf Insbruck.

Mountain Biking in Innsbruck

The regional capital Innsbruck and its neighbouring villages of Mutters and Götzens have spent the last few years developing their mountain bike infrastructure in quest to present Innsbruck as a top destination for two-wheel action. Highlights include top international events such as Crankworx Innsbruck as well as the large network of singletrails and fabulous views of the city from the mountains high above.

Beginners and intermediate riders visiting the Bikepark Innsbruck should try The First One, The Chainless One, The Wild One and The Rough One as well as the fun pumptrack, skills area and kids' park. In the mountains to the north of Innsbruck, downhillers will enjoy the Arzler Alm Trail, the Hungerburg Trail and the infamous 3.2-kilometre Nordkette Singletrail reserved strictly for experts only.

MTB Seegrube

Letzte Aktualisierung am 20. Mai 2020 von Markus Schmidt

Darum geht es auf dieser Seite:

Auf der Nordkette mountainbiken zur Seegrube

In Innsbruck auf die Seegrube im Karwendel mountainbiken Wenn man als Mountainbiker bei einem Urlaub in Tirol in der Altstadt Innsbruck steht und hinaufschaut ins Karwendel , bekommt man das Gefühl, dort hinauf zu müssen. Zu sehen ist hier konkret die Nordkette mit den bekannten Gipfeln Hafelekarspitze, Kemacher oder Rumer Spitze. Wunderschöne schroffe Bergspitzen.

MTB Seegrube: Von Arzl mit Mountainbike auf die Nordkette

Also hinauf auf´s Mountainbike in Richtung Hafelekar. Es gibt eine offizielle Tour zum Mountainbiken im Karwendel, die auf einer Forststrasse ab Arzl hinaufführt bis zur Seegrube . Hier ist dann Schluß mit dem Mountainbike. Wer es bis hierher mit dem Mountainbike schafft, hat aber im Regelfall ohnehin genug: Von der Stadt bis zur Seegrube sind es rund 1350 Höhenmeter!

Routenbeschreibunge MTB Tour Seegrube

Vom Innsbrucker Zentrum aus fährt man in den Innsbrucker Ortsteil Mühlau, wie meist beim MTB Innsbruck. Beim Gemeindeamt am Mühlauer Platzl, oberhalb vom Gasthof Koreth links in die Holzgasse fahren. Es geht auf Asfalt in angenehmer Steigung bergauf, vorbei an schönen alten Villen. Dann aufpassen an der nächsten Weggabelung rechts, der Josef Schraffl Straße bergauf folgen.

Bald fährt man über eine Brücke (Mühlauer Klamm), danach links den Rechenhofweg hinauffahren. In der Kurve links abbiegen, hier ist ein Brunnen zum Füllen der Wasserflasche bevor es weiter bergauf geht auf dem Steinbruchweg. Hier sind viele Wanderer unterwegs, Vorsicht ist geboten. Das gilt in Folge generell. Die Nordkette ist einfach DER Berg für die hiesigen Gäste. Zudem wandern und mountainbiken auch Einheimische. Wer Ruhe sucht, sollte besser woanders mountainbiken gehen.

Zurück zur Wegbeschreibung auf die Seegrube. Man folgt den Schildern zur Arzler Alm . Diese erreicht man über den Rosnerweg und den Arzler Almweg. Bei der Arzler Alm könnte man Pause machen, aber besser gleich weiter, der harte Anstieg kommt noch. Geradeaus dem Forstweg mit dem Mountainbike folgen (Route 505). So kommt man hinauf in Richtung Höttinger Alm . Diese bleibt aber links liegen. Bei der Wegkehre beginnt die Route 506. Anfangs ist dieser MTB Weg noch angenehm zu fahren. Die Steigung nimmt aber zu und die letzten 300 Höhenmeter hinauf zur Seegrube haben es in sich.

Karwendel Freeride Seegrube

Ergänzung für Freerider: Hier oben gibt es eine anspruchsvolle Freeride-Strecke für Mountainbiker. Die Bikes können mit der Bahn bis zur Seegrube befördert werden.

Fazit nach der MTB Tour auf die Seegrube: Die Tour ist die anstrengendste MTB Route direkt oberhalb der Stadt Innsbruck. Man kann einen schönen Blick auf die Stadt geniessen. Es sind jedoch sehr viele Menschen unterwegs. Naturgenuss vom Karwendel findet man besser auf anderen MTB Touren im Karwendelgebirge .

Once there, it's just a few steps up to the 1,905 m high Seegrube , where a change to the Hafelekarbahn takes you to the Top of Innsbruck, the 2,256 m high viewing point of the round trip , in just two and a half minutes.

If that's not high enough, you can walk to the 2,334 m high Hafelekarspitze in just under 15 minutes.

Walk to the highest point of the Nordkette and experience a summit atmosphere at the TOP OF INNSBRUCK without long climbs. Walking time from the Hafelekar station: approx. 10-15 minutes.

1,700 m above the city! The impressive experience at the Top of Innsbruck is within everyone's reach thanks to the direct connection to the city. It is not uncommon for guests to catch a glimpse of the otherwise shy wild animals on the Nordkette and, above all, the unique panorama of the city and mountains leaves nothing to be desired .

On the way up to the summit cross, the geotrail stations offer interesting insights into the formation of the Karwendel. The wide path up to the summit offers alternating views into the Karwendel and down over the Inn Valley.

Innsbruck is the fifth-largest city in Austria and the provincial capital of Tyrol , as well as one of the largest cities in the Alps . It is in a valley of the river Inn between mountain ranges of above 2000 m above sea level, halfway between Bavaria and northern Italy , and is a hub of a region popular for skiing and other mountain-related activities and a busy tourist destination. Its popularity as a winter sports resort was underscored by its hosting the Winter Olympic Games twice.

Innsbruck offers the traveler an intriguing mix of contemporary and imperialist history, culture and architecture with a variety of architectural styles waiting to be discovered in every street.

The first mention of Innsbruck was during the reign of Augustus, when the Romans established the army station Veldidena (the name survives in today's urban district Wilten) at the locality named Oeni Pontum or Oeni Pons , which is Latin for bridge ( pons ) over the Inn ( Oenus ), the important crossing point over the Inn river, to protect Via Claudia Augusta, the economically important commercial road from Verona -Brenner- Augsburg .

Innsbruck became the capital of Tyrol in 1429 and in the 15th century the city became a centre of European politics and culture as emperor Maximilian I moved the imperial court to Innsbruck in the 1490s. Many old buildings from the Middle Ages and modern times survived in the heart of old town.

The city is well known for its sporting opportunities, especially alpine sports, as it is in the Alps and surrounded by mountains. Innsbruck also hosted the 1964 and 1974 Winter Olympics. Several ski resorts are situated inside the city territory or within short distance. Innsbruck was one of the centers of snowboard boom in the 1990s and the derived distinct subculture endured until today. The population of skateboarders, snowboarders and people alike is therefore above average and nothing unusual to the people. This culture is also celebrated by a lot of events in and around Innsbruck especially in the winter season, attracting (predominantly young) people from all around the world.

There are two universities and several colleges in Innsbruck, with over 30,000 students altogether, making the city's nightlife very lively.

Innsbruck has also become one of Austria's most eco-friendly cities, due to a very good public transport system and a partial ban on cars in certain areas of the historic old town.

Climate [ edit ]

Innsbruck's distance from the coast and altitude lead to a continental climate. Winters are cold and snowy; summers are generally warmer and wetter, with highly variable weather. Hot and dry days, with temperatures hitting 30°C, are quite common; but can be followed by a cool and rainy spell, with temperatures only around 17°C in the day. Summer nights are cool and temperature often drop quickly after sunset - sometimes falling below 10°C in early morning.

By bus [ edit ]

The 47.26237 11.39977 3 bus station is right next to the main train station, and accommodates local, interregional and international traffic. There are connections to Seefeld , Wipptal , Ötztal , and Zillertal . International connections offer a budget friendly alternative for train travel, a one way ticket from Munich to Innsbruck with a stop in Garmisch-Partenkirchen costs ca. €11.

By car [ edit ]

Innsbruck is reachable through both of Tyrol's motorways: 47.2608 11.4381 4 Inntalautobahn (A12) and 47.2399 11.3903 5 Brennerautobahn (A13) which intersect in the south of Innsbruck.

During holiday seasons, when Europeans either try to get in or out of Italy over the 47.0051 11.5078 6 Brenner Pass in summer or try to reach or return from ski resorts in winter, heavy traffic should be expected on both motorways particularly during weekends. Snowfall inevitably makes the traffic situation worse, so it is recommended to tune in to Radio Tyrol at 96.4 MHz FM for the latest traffic updates.

By bike [ edit ]

Innsbruck can be reached on the Inntalradweg from Passau to St. Moritz. Even in the city this bicycle trail is signposted with small green road signs.

Get around [ edit ]

Most one-day visitors don't use any transport: all of the major Old Town sites are within a reasonable walking time.

On foot [ edit ]

The classic walk into old Innsbruck follows.

From the main station (Hauptbahnhof) to the city center is a relatively short and enjoyable 10 to 15 minute walk. Walk out of the Hauptbahnhof, cross the street at the train station cross walk, turn to your right, and go down to the next street to your left. Walk on this street until Maria-Theresien Strasse, then turn right toward the city center. Taking this street all the way leads to the pedestrian zone and the Golden Roof.

Big parts of the downtown area are declared (fee-based) short-term parking zones. For longer visits, it is highly recommended to park off-site and use public transportation.

By public transport [ edit ]

Public local traffic (6 tram-lines, and a dense network of buses) is operated by Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe and a couple of private operators. All public services are organized in Verkehrsverbund Tirol , which means that tickets are valid in every public transport line (including buses, trams and trains). All buses and trams are modern low-floor vehicles.

Sometimes bus lines are split up into different destinations and so it's important to pay attention to the destination displays (outside and inside) and the spoken announcements. Single-fare tickets are €3 in the city fare zone if paid by the driver or €2.40 if purchased at ticket machines. 5-trip tickets are available for €8.00 or €10.00, respectively. Regardless of the door you enter, go to the driver and pay, exact change not necessary. daily tickets, weekly tickets and other sorts of tickets are only offered at multi-language ticket machines to be found at many stations. They can also be purchased at the identically looking machines for short-term parking tickets. You must validate the ticket when you get on your first bus or tram. See the website for all available tickets .

The special bus line "TS" ( "The Sightseer" ) connects the major sights like Schloß Ambras, Bergisel and Alpenzoo to downtown. However special fares apply for this line. If you don't plan to visit every museum it might be reasonably cheaper to use the normal 24 hour ticket without this bus.

Two tram lines lead to two villages in the neighbourhood of Innsbruck.

Tram line nr. 6 connects Innsbruck and the mountain village Igls , which is worth a visit. The line passes the uplands with vast forests and gives some spectacular prospects for travellers either on Innsbruck or on the lovely landscape between Aldrans and Igls. It provides stops immediately near Schloß Ambras and the bathing-lake Lansersee (ice skating in Winter is also possible there). The terminus Igls lies within the city fare zone, so no additional ticket is needed.

Tram line STB is 18 km long and connects Innsbruck with several villages in the Stubaital valley. This tram provides also access to Bergisel (Tirol Panorama) at the station Sonneburgerhof. This station is also situated within die city fare zone. In Mutters, Nockhofweg access to an easy skiing area, the Mutteralm, is provided (10 minutes walk). A beautiful hour's ride will take you at least the small town of Fulpmes. The new red liveried trams offer great scenic views on the journey. It is recommended to make a trip around Halloween, when the larch-trees on the Telfer Wiesen have got their best autumn colour.

By S-Bahn [ edit ]

A suburban train system called S-Bahn with five routes (S1 - S5) connects Innsbruck to villages and towns around the city, from Landeck to Kufstein or Kitzbühel and from Mittenwald to Brenner . Timetables and fares can be found on the VVT website . Inner city VVT tickets are valid between the Hauptbahnhof and 47.2555 11.3915 1 Westbahnhof (west station), 47.2613 11.3738 2 Hötting , 47.26908 11.3535 3 Allerheiligenhöfe , and 47.26959 11.32872 4 Kranebitten .

Cycling is common in Innsbruck and especially popular among students. Innsbruck has some bicycle paths, but they are not very well interlinked within the city. A map of all bicycle ways/lanes is available here . In 2012, Innsbruck was awarded Fahrradhauptstadt (cycling capital) by VCÖ (an Austrian traffic advocacy group).

Innsbruck offers short-term shared bike system Stadtrad . It is subject to compulsory registration via this page [dead link] or machines standing next to the bikes, and requires a credit card number. The registration costs €1 and yields a credit of €1 on the account. A ride less than 30 minutes costs €1, less than 1 hour €3, for every additional hour €3, up to a total of €15 for 24 hours (see their fare overview [dead link] ). The locations are displayed on a map on this site [dead link] . If you plan on using the bike frequently, you may consider getting an annual membership for €25, which reduces the cost of rentals substantially.

See [ edit ]

The Innsbruck-Card [dead link] offers free entrance to all of Innsbruck's sights, free use of public transportation (including the TS line). It also includes a one-time ascent&descent to Nordkette , Patscherkofel and Axamer Lizum , and a 10% discount to Swarovski Crystal Worlds in nearby Wattens . The Innsbruck-Card is valid for 24/48/72 hours and can be purchased at Innsbruck Information (Burggraben 3), the TI in Hauptbahnhof, and several museums and tourist offices. The latest Innsbruck card fare can be found here [dead link] . Since 1 May 2018, rates are €43/€50/€59 for 1/2/3 day cards for adults, and €21.50/€25/€29.50 for children 6-15 years old. And daily or weekly public transport cards are cheap - the "all inclusive" sales pitch is alluring to disoriented travellers, but make sure the discounts are worth the initial price. If you are not seeing these major entrance-fee sites, remember that you may buy more than one daily card at a time, as the 24 hours only starts once validated. Be sure to compare with the price of a weekly ticket too.

The bus line Sightseer (TS) connects the major sights in Innsbruck. However, there is always a cheaper public transport line going to the same destination, though it might take you more time.

Winter sports [ edit ]

There are a lot of ski resorts in the mountains surrounding Innsbruck, many of which offer free ski buses from the city center so long as you have ski gear and/or a valid ski pass, making it a great place to base one's self. Discount or combo passes can reduce the costs of skiing or snowboarding. In 2022-2023, a "SKI plus CITY pass" combines winter sports discounts with city sightseeing passes.

Below is an overview of notable ski areas easily accessible from Innsbruck. For full information about resorts around Innsbruck and Tirol, see Bergfex.com .
