The plan is to walk up Heimgarten and Herzogstand from Ohlstadt (hopefully a less busy way up) before dropping down to Walchensee. It’s not a short route and and I want to walk a reasonably fast pace ( at least 400m gain per hour) so please only sign up if you know you have the fitness to do this. The temperature has dropped now and I will check conditions the day before but there may be some snow at the top and icy/slippery conditions. So be prepared for this! Please do not join the hike if you are beginner and not even experienced hiking T3 level routes and in winter.

Any questions just ask :)

We should have time to stop in the hut at the top of Herzogstand for a drink, it might be a tad chilly so make sure you’re 3G in order to sit inside.

Please download the route to your phone if you can.

We will buy the Bayernkarte at Hauptbahnhof as a group at 7:20, if you are late you will have to buy your own ticket there.
