Chilled Hike and people in Hurry - sincere request to the folks not to join. We are targeting to walk around and enjoy the nature .

Note : ( Our pace would be bit slow compare to others and intends to take several breaks during the hike - Therefore it might not be ok for professionals or experienced hikers )

Mentioned below information is collected from the past event organised by Amit Verma :

Breitenstein is a 1,622 m high mountain in the eastern part of the Bavarian Prealps, in the German state of Bavaria. The mountain has two peaks, the higher main peak in the east (1622 m) and the secondary peak Bockstein in the west (1575 m).

This mountain hike is easy hike, though there are some steep parts at the top. It offers a wonderful view from the top. In winter, there might be a lot of snow so be careful and check for the avalanche risks. Because you climb for the side of the mountain which lies in the sun, it gets quickly hot. However, in May, there's no snow left.

The tour can be done in both directions. There's alternation of forest road (very popular among bikers) and hiking path.

By public transport: The easiest way to get there from Munich is to take a BOB train to Miesbach. Make sure that you are in the correct compartment in BOB train (towards Bayerischzell). From Miesbach take the bus 9552 to Birkenstein. That's the starting point of the hike. The cheapest option is to buy Bayern ticket which also includes the cost in the Bus.

Meeting point : In front of platform 35 @ Munich HBF we will gather together . We will be divided in Two Groups considering the current COVID 19 regulations. Please be available latest by 5.45 AM in the platform , we will take the tickets at 5.50 sharp , any latecomers will have to buy the tickets separately . 

Travel Details : We will take the BOB Train from platform 35 scheduled at 6.04 AM in the morning .

Tickets : Once we have the group in place , we can take the group Bayern Ticket and share the cost later . Try to bring cash .

Plus , if we are able to complete the Hike early , then we can get together at some place for Dinner or for quick gossips ;)
