Description

Let´s go this Friday for a beautiful long winter hike!

What do you need to take part to this hike.

1) Enough fitness 

2) Cash for the train ticket (Werdenfels ticket) and in case for buying food and drinks at gasthof (many places do not accept cash, so please bring it with you)

3) Team spirit. We are a group, we must act as a group and especially in winter conditions leaving someone very far behind is never a good idea. So put always an eye to the group and no gaps in the group. 

4) Motivation to join the event. Motivation is the most important thing in life and hikes, especially in winter requires motivation. At latest please unjoin at 12 pm the day before the hike (About 18 hours before the event) unless you are not feeling good or serious issue comes. Unjoin in the evening makes it impossible to any other buddie would have wanted to join since it would be too late and creates chaos in the waiting list and in the event. Thanks for understanding

5) Please be punctual or you will buy your own ticket if you get to the station after 6,20


Norway in the Alps: Who wouldn't be amazed by the fjord-like Plansee, framed by densely forested mountains?


We start our hike in Griesen, Germany. The tour has almost no increase in altitude for several km. We cross a bridge near a chapel and we walk long next to the Naidernach, there is a lot of sparse forest. There are enough views of the striking mountain giants of the Ammergau Alps and the Wetterstein Mountains. 
Only after a longer stretch the path rises, leads past a barn and at an altitude of 900 m reaches the point "Beside the three waters", where the wild Schobertal comes down from the left. In the further course, the forest road turns to the left, crosses the Naidernach on a bridge and rises significantly in a few sweeping loops. Almost 100 meters further up, you come to a triangle where you continue straight ahead. Behind a beautiful, open valley floor you reach the shore of the Plansee at the picturesque Seewinkl.

On the eastern shore of the Plansee rises the small peak of the Schönjöchl, mostly covered with light forest.
Schönjöchl is a peaceful mountain on the north-eastern shore of Lake Plansee in Austria. This mountain of the Ammergau Alps is not particularly high at 1661 meters, but it has a lot to offer. What makes this mountain so special is its location directly on the Plansee. This means that you have a wonderful view of the all lake and the surrounding mountains from the summit. On the way to the summit you will come to one of the best points to get a view of Lake Plansee, you can admire it along its all length and it looks like a Norwegian fjord. You only get such a view at this point on the Schönjöchl hike.

But you also have a great view from the summit, even if it is very overgrown overall due to its low altitude. On a clear day you can even see the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. The views are simply breathtaking and definitely worth the effort of the hike. We go down the same way down till Plansee. We hike along all Plansee to get wondeful reflections of surrounding mountains. No surprise King Ludwig loved it here and wanted to build another palace in this location. We reach after crossing a bridge Heiterwangersee and finally Heitwerwang Plansee bahnhof. It is a technically difficult hike but you need good fitness for such long hike
