Description

A wintry hike to Brecherspitz, with a nice view of Schliersee and Spitzingsee!

I did this tour last February and it was one of the more rewarding trips I've done. There were no other people on the trail, the view was amazing, and the hike was a challenge so you felt like you'd earned the beer at the end!

I'll start with a few warnings:

  • This is NOT a beginner's hike! We will go at a moderate pace, but with the snow it will be quite a challenging day. I estimate about 7-8 hours of hiking.
  • The trail is not cleared in the winter. The snow can get quite deep. It will definitely be an adventure, but if crawling through 2m deep snow on a 30° incline isn't your idea of fun, maybe try another route.
  • There are no huts open on the entire route. You'll need enough food and water for the whole day!


Now for the good stuff:

  • Because of the lack of huts, it's not a popular route in the winter -- we'll probably have the mountain to ourselves.
  • If memory serves me correctly, you can do a big chunk of the descent by sliding down on your backside!
  • There are a few restaurants in Neuhaus we can go to after for a beer and some hot food.
  • Depending on interest: I have a small gas stove we could take and make sausages or something for lunch.
Good to know

Be on time!

We will buy the group ticket at 7:46, and if you're not there, you will have to buy your own ticket.

Make sure to bring the following items (I may not let you join if you don't have them):

  • Proper hiking boots
  • Waterproof pants and jacket
  • Hat and gloves
  • At least 2 L of water/fluids, and a decent lunch
  • Warm clothes, especially for the lunch break
  • Money for the train (around 15 euros)

The following are optional, but recommended:

  • Extra socks
  • Hiking poles
  • Spikes for your boots
  • A warm drink
  • A headlamp or flashlight

UPDATE: I am bringing my stove. If you let me know by 13:00 today, I will also bring you a few cevapcici. Otherwise feel free to bring *1-2* sausages per person, NO MORE. We don't have time to cook a bunch of sausages for everyone. Note that this will NOT replace the food you should bring with you, just supplement it!
