Description

You must read the instructions carefully before joining!


 Event Description copied from Mukul‘s Sunday event. Thanks for preparing all details. I don’t have time to join on Sunday, so I decided to do the same event on Saturday. It seems the Meteor shower will be active on that night as well.


Plan: We will meet at Winklmoosalm, hike to the Steinplatte, watch the sunset, and return to Winklmoosalm. At the Starpark we will watch the stars, milky way and perseids. You can bring a Mat to lay down and watch the Night sky. We can leave the stuff we won't need while hiking, in the car.




Preliminary schedule:


~ 15:00 start in Munich

~ 16:45 arrival at Winklmoosalm Parkplatz

17:00-17:15 (sharp!) start hiking

~ 20:30 sunset at Steinplatte,

~ 22:30 back at Winklmoosalm

window of best visibility/max. rate if there is a clear sky: after midnight

~ 02:00 departure from Winklmoosalm (up to each car)



Legal disclaimer: This is not a guided tour. I merely organize the trip to the starting point with like-minded, qualified, properly equipped and reliable persons. Every participant must be able to navigate her/himself on the suggested route. If you join, you acknowledge that hiking is dangerous, you are fully responsible for yourself.



Note: Please write me a message before joining my car. There are just 2 places at my car available, because 2 other people will join as well, who are not at Hiking Buddies.

I created this event for 8 people, so that a second car with 5 people can join, if someone would be interested.

Good to know

my car is full and Marc is joining without car (maybe he lives in that area). You could rent a car and take some more people with you and share the costs with them.
