Description

Saturday is supposed to have very nice weather so let's make the best use of it. 

We are going to Ehrwald in Tyrol by train and from there start to  hike our way up towards the start of the  Seeben via ferrata. The ferrata is rated by D/E difficulty, so expect big exposure, small overhangs and lot's pulling with your hands. 

After we finish this one we hike next to the Seeben lake towards the start of the main ferrata of the day, the famous Tajakante. It is also rated by D/E difficulty but is much longer than the previous one. 

When we finish it and sign the summit register of the Vorderer Tajakopf (2450m), we hike our way down towards the start of the short Coburger ferrata (also rated D/E) and pull ourselves to the peak of the Hinterer Tajakopf (2408m).

Once there, we hike our way down towards the Coburger hut, and optionally drink a beer there. 

From there the plan is to go towards the lake and take a quick dip (it is VERY cold btw), but only if we have enough time.

After that we will speedhike / trail run our way down the Hoher gang route. 

Once we are down from the mountain we are going to speed walk back towards the train station in Ehrwald to catch the train at 7:30pm.


The expected time to finish this "hike" is about 11 hours.


ps: You can add carpool if you feel like driving. 


This event is obviously only for people that are very fit, and go regularly to the mountains and have already done a bunch of D difficulty via ferratas before.
