Description

Let's enjoy amazing alpine lakes and a nice scramble to a peak with great views. 


Foreword:

  • The confidence of the weather forecast is not perfect yet, I may cancel/adapt this if the rain probability increases dramatically.
  • The last part of the hike seems to be a scramble, so please be very comfortable with such climbs. It may be very steep and partially exposed near the peak.
  • Overall this is a challenging hike due to overall length, elevation gain and final push before the peak.


Logistics:

Let's meet latest at 7:00 at Munich Hbf next to the RE62 train, track #31. You can also get on the train in Pasing.

Morning itinerary:

7:13 Munich - 8:54 Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn (RE 62)

Return journey:

We aim to take one of the direct trains which depart every hour until and including 19:31. 

Example: RB60 18:31 Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn - 20:26 Munich Hbf  (1h55min trip time)

Optional in Ehrwald:

Instead of walking in the city, it's possible to cut about 2km of the hike each way by taking a bus that costs ~1.5eur.
Buses 1/2/3 from Ehrwald Bf. to Ehrwald Martinsplatz or Ehrwald Hofkapelle (5-8 min)

But these buses don't run often, there is one at 8:54 (exactly when our train arrives), next one is at 9:35

Disclaimer:

I am not a guide, hiking can be dangerous and everyone is responsible for themselves. Please make sure you have the required physical fitness and familiarize yourself with the hike.


Good to know

  • Sunscreen !!
  • Food
  • Upload gpx on your device
  • Good to have: hat, some cash.

Florin, what do you think about the short T6 section on the way back? Do you think it's manageable without equipment?

There are some webpages suggesting that the trail connecting Biberwier to Coburger Huette (AV Weg 814) is closed. That's the left part of the hike on the map. I will check for updates. In any case, if need be, we can avoid that part by taking the same path (right part on the map) both up and down. If we do that, the distance and elevation gain actually decrease a bit and it doesn't affect at all our access to the 3 main attractions (the 2 lakes and the peak).
