Hi All,

Let us do a short but exciting Klettersteig to the summit of Ettaler Manndl (1,633 m) before the season ends. After reaching the summit cross and enjoying the views, we will be going for a T2-T3 moderate hike to Schartenkopf (1,768 m), offering panoramic views over the Ammergau Alps. 

Highlights:

• Exciting but short climb with beautiful exposure.

• Breathtaking summit panorama over the Zugspitze and Ammergau Alps.

• Great first Klettersteig to build confidence.
  
  

  ✅ Why It's Great for Beginners

  • Short and rewarding: The ferrata is not too long or technically difficult.

  • Safe and well-maintained: Cables, pegs, and protection points are all in excellent condition.

  • Scenic: You get the thrill of climbing with minimal risk and maximum view payoff.

  • Option to skip the via ferrata: A hiking trail to Schartenkopf.

    
    

    
    

    Transport: We will be taking the RB6 from pl.27 to Oberau which leaves at 07:32am. From Oberau bus 9606 to Klostergasthof Ettal arriving at 09.05am. We will start hiking at 09:10am. We will be taking the return journey at 15:40 bus 9606 to oberau, followed by train to Munich. We will be in Munich by 17:30pm. As I prefer not leaving the group and walking together I dont mind taking the later transport and we have the return option every hour.
    
    

    A checklist (probably non-exhaustive) of what to bring:

    • Harness
    • Helmet
    • Via Ferrata lanyards
    • Climbing gloves
    • Water (~2L)
    • Snacks
    • Sun cream
    • Deutschlandticket
    • Some cash (in case we visit a restaurant while waiting for the next connection)

    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).
