Even if you think the event suits you, please read all the information below before joining. A short hike can be much harder than a long one, depending on the pace, the steepness, the weather.

❶ GENERAL INFO

TRANSPORTATION: Train

LIMIT OF PARTICIPANTS:15

MEETING TIME: 06:35. This is when I buy the tickets, meaning you should be there earlier. If you are late, you buy yours!

MEETING PLACE: Munich Central Station, Platform 31

RETURN TIME: 20:00

COST: 9 to 15€ depending on the number of participants. Please bring coins.

❷ ROUTE

Please note that this route can be changed during the hike (snow, bad weather, slow group ...).

PACE: MODERATE. You have to do sport on a regular basis (cardio like running, cycling, …). I intend to keep at least a 3 to 4km/h average speed, and climb 400m to 500m elevation gain per hour.

ABOUT THE ROUTE: Technically easy, but requires good stamina since it's quite long. I will check everyone's profile for that one. If you're new, I will ask you details about your experience. But don't dare joining if you haven't been hiking for a month.

❸ WHAT TO BRING

Clothing: Warm clothes, gloves, etc…

Accessories: !!Headlamp!!, suncream, food, 2L of water, passport (possible control in the train), phone with emergency number in your contacts, extra battery

Safety: First aid kit

Optional (meaning all of the above is obligatory): Hiking poles (really helpful in snow)

❹ GROUP SPIRIT

Hiking Buddies has to be considered as a group of friends willing to spend a good time together in the mountains. The person publishing the event is someone like you who doesn't want to go hiking alone. For that reason (s)he spends a significant amount of time looking for a route, taking care of choosing the right transportation, checking the weather, if huts are open, etc. As a participant, your duty is to respect the work of the organiser by being on time, sticking with the group, being polite with every other participant. Also, don't join if you have plans after the hike - you never know what can happen (accidents, slow group, delayed train) and we could get back to Munich later than expected.

Oh, and remember - Hiking Buddies wouldn't be that great without those brave organisers. So don't just join events, and go for it, create events yourself! I'm sure you won't end up going alone!
