Now that summer has arrived, let’s go for a hike up to Hochschrutte followed by a swim in Heiterwanger See. The route is T4, with some grade I scrambling. We will be going reasonably quickly, but not trail running

Weather

It should remain dry all day, but given the conditions over the last week, it is very possible that we will see drizzle at some possible towards the end of the walk. By then we will be low down, so it will not pose any risk to us, but it is definitely worth bringing full waterproofs in case.

Kit list

This is what I am bringing; your kit list should be similar.

• hiking boots/trail shoes
  
• head torch
• helmet (recommended, as the descent can involve loose scree)

• cash (for the train ticket, and for a possible restaurant stop while we wait for the train)
  
• more snacks
• FFP2 mask
• water (2 ℓ)
• Alpenverein membership, or similar insurance

Safety

Please observe all laws and guidelines for preventing the spread of coronavirus. I have created this event in order to find other people keen on walking in the mountains, but I am not a guide, and each member is responsible for their own safety. You are expected to familiarise yourself with the route before registering, and only register once you are happy that you can complete it.
