Description
What to expect
This will be a chill hike, meaning that the tempo will be not that fast. Something like 300 height meters per hour, give or take a bit. In addition, expect us to spend quite a bit of time at the lake at the peak so that those of use who want can go swimming also in case the hut is open, then expect us to spend some time there as well and if there is interest, possibility and time, then we might eat at Ehrwald after the hike.
The duration of the hike will depend highly on what are the groups preferences.
I am aiming to at the latest catch the train leaving at 17:30 which would arrive in Munich around 19:30.
We might be back significantly earlier, but this is what you should be ready in case you join the hike.
Looking forward to seeing you guys and let's have an awesome hike.
Good to know
The hike is in Austria, that means All travelers need to show either a negative COVID test or proof of vaccination/past infection upon entry. (You might also want to bring an ID card or equivelant)
If you will be arriving after 06:55 please let me know in advance. You can contact me through Whatsapp
(015252736544). We will be buying Bayern tickets (around 13 euros per person) at 7:00 so if you are late and do not notify me then you have to buy your own ticket.
The train leaves at 7:13 and reaches Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn at 8:53. The train station is around 2.4 km away from the starting point of the hike. We might be able to take a bus to get to a throwing distance of the starting point, but I can not guarantee that.
The route has technical sections, so it will not fit beginner hikers or people who are not comfortable with heights. I expect to find completed level T4 hikes on your profile, or 3 or more T3 hikes. If you do not have those, then on joining write me a message explaining your previous experience, otherwise I will remove you from the hike.
NB! Hiking can be dangerous. I am not a mountain guide, and everybody joining this hike does this at his own risk.

Can anybody verify that the train I am planning to take is covered by the Bayern group ticket?
And does anybody know what are the chances and prices of taking the bus inside Ehrwald?

Busses seem to be running 8:55, 9:35, 9:35, 10:35 to Ehrwald Almbahn Talstation. No guaranty from my side, though. CHECK the ÖBB website, please.

I recently took the same 7:13 am train from Munich, and to my surprise there was a connecting bus at Ehrwald. The online bus schedule does not seem up to date. The bus ticket is 2,40 eur. Enjoy the hike! Johannes

Hi, I'm interested in the event. Would a self-test be enough or should it be an official schnell-test?

It seems it has to be a PCR test, but not 100% sure. You have to do your own research regarding this topic, unless someone here can answer you with more certainty.
I myself am vaccinated.

The requirements are described on this page: https://www.austria.info/en/service-and-facts/coronavirus-information/entry-regulations
Official PCR or Antigen tests (supervised by medical authority/pharmacy) shouldn't be older than 72 and 48 hours, respectively. Self-tests might be ok (for max 24 hours), but one needs to pre-register and be approved for entry. I recommend to get an official test, that has the least likelihood of leading to an issue at the border.

I increased the group size, so now you are included. If you can not come, but at the same time you can not unjoin, then please ping me here.
Try to avoid the self test.

Selda, Thomas, Jasmine
I am waiting for you to contact me, as all of you were lacking in the requirement that you must have one T4 hike or at least 3 T3 hikes on your profile.
I did get a sense from reviews that some of you are very experienced hikers, so I would not want to remove you from the event, but unless you contact me (message through the website or comment under this thread) I will have to do that. The deadline will be today at 14:00 o'clock.
Thus, for the people in the waiting list check back at around 15:00 o'clock to see if a spot had opened up.

Hi Andres, I’m new to hiking buddies and quite new to Munich as well, so I’m not sure what the level for T4 or T3 hikes would be. I did hike fairly regularly (prior to moving here in these last few weeks) but always on established trails or paths. The distance and elevation change looked in line with what I’m used to, although of course I’m not sure of the pace exactly. Let me know if you think that would be alright!

Hi Andres, even though I would be comfortable with the T4, I had to remove myself from the event due to time constraints. Have fun at the hike!

Jasmine.
HIKING BOOTS/SHOES WILL BE A NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR YOU AS A POTENTIAL BEGINNER!!! If you come with sneakers, then I can not let you join.
Check out the "what to expect" link at the top. If that does not seem scary to you and seems totally doable, then you should be fine.
From this link you can read about the different levels.
https://www.hiking-buddies.com/blog/2018/07/02/sac-hiking-scale/
There will be exposed parts on the hike, but most of those seem to be secured with a cable, so you should always have something firm to crab onto. There will be a need to scramble with your hands, but you do not need to rock climb.
The biggest danger is that you get scared of the height and can not go back or forward and are stuck on the mountain, thus you have to be okay with heights that is the most important thing.

In hiking buddies, you should avoid doing this that you decide not to come at the last hour. It is a very frowned upon activity.
People limit the hike size, so if you take one of the spots, then you might be taking away the opportunity for another person to join.
