Josefstal: Hike & Yoga

The Hike

The hike starts in Neuhaus and first leads us idyllically through the Josefstal. Along the way, we’re surrounded by nature with dense forests, fresh mountain air, and beautiful views opening up again and again. We then continue past Lake Spitzingsee and make our way at an easy pace to the Albert-Link Hut, where we take a well-deserved break and enjoy one of the best Kaiserschmarrn in the area. After the rest, we follow an easy trail to Haus Spitzingsee for our yoga session.

Average	12 km, ↑400 m, 3,5 hrs (excl. breaks)
Fitness	Low - with solid health no prep needed.
Difficulty	Easy hiking trail – small path covered with roots and stones at times. There is no exposed parts and fear of heights should not be a problem.
Overall	Easy. Especially suitable if you have never been to the Alps before or are unsure about your fitness.

 The Yoga - Mountain Flow

After the hike, we head to the DAV Haus Spitzingsee, which has a lovely, spacious room equipped with yoga mats where we can unwind with a gentle yoga session. I guide you through a gentle Mountain Flow, a slow vinyasa-style yoga session that focuses on releasing and lengthening the parts of the body most affected by hiking, such as the calves, hips, neck, and shoulders. The practice is suitable for everyone, and no prior yoga experience is required.
