Description

Update: we're going by car. Alice kindly offered to give us a lift (about 6€ pP).

An easy, Southern winter hike with panoramic views of Zahmer&Wilder Kaiser and Walchsee.

We will have lunch at the open Wandberg hut

Technical Difficulty: This hike is suitable for advanced beginners (IMO absolute beginners should not hike in winter). You should not be slow (>=400m gain/hour), and have a pace of at least 5km/h in the flat parts.

Weather forecast dry and sunny

snow height probably <25cm by Saturday

Transport: We will take public transport - BRB RB54 from Ostbahnhof, departure 7:50, return probably by 7pm.  Bring your Deutschlandticket or organize your own ticket. In Austria we will buy bus tickets (7,2€ one-way pP) or Einfach-Raus group ticket (9,8€/11,3€ pP for 4/5 persons, respectively).

If we find a car driver we could save about 1 hour one-way.

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 and that you have sufficient insurance (DAV, Bergrettung or similar).

Note: Please unjoin the event well in advance, if you don't want to come. You cannot unjoin the event when it is starting in less than 12 hours. No-shows will be recorded in your profile.
