The Goetheweg hike in Innsbruck is an extremely difficult out-and-back trail that spans a distance of 10.203 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1387.0 meters. The estimated duration for this challenging hike is approximately 5 hours and 49 minutes.

The trail starts at a trailhead near the Cafe Pension Alpina, located just 0.04 kilometers from the beginning. As you embark on the journey, you will pass by several interesting points of interest. At just 0.03 kilometers from the start, you'll find a shelter for hikers to take a break. Further along the trail at 3.01 kilometers, you'll come across the Bodenstein Alm restaurant and alpine hut, a great spot to refuel and rest.

Halfway through the hike, at 5.1 kilometers, there is a viewpoint with limited wheelchair accessibility, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area. Along the way, you'll also find drinking water stations such as the Theresienbrunnen and Kuttlerbrunnen to stay hydrated.

As you approach the endpoint of the trail, 5.06 kilometers from the start, you'll encounter the Goethe-Weg information point and the Messstation für Höhenstrahlen. The trail culminates at the Hafelekarspitze peak, which is not directly on the trail but located 5.06 kilometers from the start.

Due to the length and elevation gain, this hike is considered extremely difficult and is recommended for experienced hikers. It is crucial to bring an adequate water supply, appropriate hiking gear, and to check the weather forecast before setting out on this challenging adventure.
