The Karwendel Alpine Park between the River Inn and the River Isar, the Achensee and the Seefeld depression is a conservation area with many sites of special interest.
The Karwendel Alpine Park boasts a number of internationally-renowned beauty spots, all easily reachable by visitors to the Tyrol.

Something very special right on the doorstep! The Karwendel mountain range is characterised by a primordial Alpine landscape unique to Europe. Features include the Kleiner Ahornboden, the Grosser Ahornboden, the Tortal (with the highest sheer rock walls in Karwendel Alpine Park) and also its very own "Grand Canyon", the Vomperloch.
Surface area:
The Tyrolean part of the Karwendel covers 730 sq.km, the adjoining Bavarian nature conservation area, known as the "Karwendel und Karwendelvorgebirge" (foothills) another 190 sq.km. The two parks combined cover approx. 920 sq.km.
The Karwendel Alpine Park is therefore: - with approx. 920 sq.km one of the largest conservation areas in the Eastern Alps
- Austria's largest conservation area
- the Tyrol's largest conservation area (730 sq.km)
