Route: Hike starting in Kufstein, with a gorgeous view of the Wilder Kaiser as we cross a large meadow to lunch at an alm and then ultimately we will finish at the swimming lake.

The route itself is non-technical. However, it still has 1069m of elevation gain and it's probably a little too long for a first time hike. We'll hike at a moderate pace, 450m/hr, which is slightly faster than the times in a Rother guide.

Gear: A good pair of hiking boots, a sun hat, sunscreen, bathing suit and towel. Poles are optional, but always helpful. I would recommend to take max. 1 liter of water, and some snacks. There will be multiple alms with water sources along with the route. We will also stop for lunch, likely at the Kaindlhuette. You should bring cash for lunch and also a few Euros for entry at the beach. Also, we are crossing the border into Austria, so please don't forget your ID/passport.

Schedule: We will meet at Muenchn Hbf Gls 5-10 (The south side of the train station), where the trains to Kufstein and Salzburg leave from. We will arrive at Kufstein at 9am and should arrive at the Kaindlhuette at 12 noon. I expect that we will arrive at the swimming lake at 15:00 and from there, it is possible to return to Kufstein Hbf with public transit. I expect that we will be back in Munich no later than 21:00, if we spend a few hours swimming.
