This hike is an independent part (1) of a four-day Easter trip to Berchtesgaden/Königssee. 

• join us for any subset on the days (there will be a day 4 too - with a surprise route;)
• book accommodation and travel on your own/arrange with other participants
• the best overnight base would be town Schönau am Königssee (several of us will stay in Hotel Bergheimat)

From Katie: “Spring is is a very special time in the mountains. The region is not my “home” hiking grounds and the tour will be very explorative, fun and adventurous”

Travel & accommodation: The host does not (like "not at all" ;) arrange travel or accommodation. Here is a whatsup group where you can arrange it together with other participants: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hz3xuyp5bRJ3Fqed8eVcWc

Start/travel

• We start on Friday at 1 pm in Hintersee, Ramsau b. Berchtesgaden (bus station). 
• I will travel on 15.04.22 from München Hbf Gl.5-10 to Hintersee, Ramsau b. Berchtesgaden, departing at 08:56  with BRB79011, arriving at 12:42  with Bus 846. And will have all my luggage (a small backpack) with me. 
• Those of you who stay in Berchtesgaden (a stop on the route) will have around 45 minutes to drop off the luggage there or alternatively would have to arrive earlier (if you don’t want to carry your bags with you on the first day hike)

First day

• we arrive/meet,
• make a relatively;) relaxed but beautiful hike from Hintersee to Schönau am Königsee
• enjoy a cozy dinner there, 
• discuss details of the next three days and 
• make an early (8-9pm probably) end of the day for everyone «to mentally arrive», relax and have some good sleep.

If you stay in Berchtesgaden, please check the bus timetable to/from Schönau (and send it to me or Dee, so that we post it here). There are several bus options.

Some strong recommendations ;)

• It will be a tour of challenging hikes requiring strong physical fitness, cheerful attitude to obstacles and having fun in the nature.
• Good hiking boots, hopefully waterproof and with a good rubber profile, are extremely helpful as it is likely to get wet and slippery.
• At this time of the year, spikes (see picture) make your hike more much safe, fun and mobile.
• Dressing in layers, so that you can take a layer (e.g. a pullover) on/off is also recommended as getting up a mountain is always warm, but up there and getting down often gets chilly.
• For this adventure I also recommend bringing a change of (old sport) shoes - for the unhappy case that you and your favourite hiking boots “have a fight”;)
• A good breakfast always makes your experience particularly nice;) but don't forget some snacks and water to keep you supplied until we reach an alm.
