The "Karwendel Express" departs from Kufstein (500m) and travels beside foaming Thierseer Ache River. A short climb takes you to Thiersee and continues via Landl on a lovely gravel road past Stallenalm Alpine Pasture Hut to Ackernalm Alpine Pasture Hut (1,383m).
From there, coast down the valley until you reach Erzherzog Johann Retreat. Smooth gravel roads take you through luxuriant forests uphill to Guffert Hut (1,465m). The segment ends with a gentle and long downhill ride on a broad gravel road to the shores of Achensee Lake and is rounded out by a delightful lakeside ride to Maurach am Achensee (960m).
