Description

⭐️Advent, Advent, das Lichtlein brennt⭐️
For the First Advent, I would like to plan an easy tour to Salzburg’s Hausberg, Gaisberg—and optionally, depending on the group, to the Nockstein.
After a long hike, we deserve something nice at the Christmas market: a Kinderpunsch or Glühwein, and some Tiroler Schmankerl 😇.

https://christkindlmarkt.co.at/wichtige-termine-2025/
P.S. There are several Xmas Markets in Salzburg. Der historische Salzburger Christkindlmarkt am Dom- und Residenzplatz ist einer der schönsten und ältesten Weihnachtsmärkte der Welt.>>>We are going there.

🍭🥮🍬 It’s the most wonderful time of the year, so feel free to bring Stollen, Baumkuchen, gebrannte Mandeln, Lebkuchen, Marzipanbrot, and Plätzchen (Vanillekipferl, Zimtsterne, Spekulatius).
We’ll enjoy süße Gipfelmomente together.

🚉Transport:
Zug hin: 06.55 Hbf, BRB RE5 nach Salzburg, Pl. 9. I will join at Ostbahnhof at 07.03.
Zurück: train every hour at .05 (17.05, 18.08, 19.05).

Hi everyone, thanks for the information. Sorry I couldn’t reply earlier — I was in the mountains all day and in the evening at the Krampuslauf in Reutte. Please make sure to have spikes: the snow started melting today, and in some places it might be icy tomorrow. Winter is definitely reshaping our routes!

Dear Zakaria, sorry for my late response. Unfortunately, I can’t increase the number of participants now (it’s less than 12 hours before the event, and I hadn’t seen your request earlier). Feel free to join us tomorrow.

Good morning, dear participants, we are 12 people in total today (officially and unofficially). Svea and Robert will join us in Salzburg, Olga in Rosenheim, and the rest in Munich Main Station and Ostbahnhof. We will ascend to Gaisberg via the Zistelalm (we can decide about the descent together). I will try to get seats for us on the train at the Hauptbahnhof so we can stay together as a group. Let’s have fun and enjoy Salzburg together!

Thanks to all for the hike yesterday: it was a lovely first Advent – nice, fun, we were well fed, and the weather was on our side. And the view of the Watzmann and the Salzburger & Berchtesgadener Hochthron from the Gaisberg – you really can’t beat that. Happy to do it again! 🫶🥾⛄️
