Description

Hiking in the beautiful scenery of the highest German mountain Zugspitze! Please familiarize yourself with the route http://out.ac/INhVHt before joining.

Necessary:

  • ankle-covering hiking boots and
  • plenty of water (the exact amount depends on your weight; I recommend ⩾ 2.5 L).

Optional: hiking poles, rain poncho, food, warm clothes (depending on the temperature), gaiters (if there's snow), and crampons (if there's ice).

In case of heavy rain, heavy snow, thunderstorm, or too few participants (also if they don't show up last minute), the hike might be canceled, modified, or moved for safety reasons.

I plan to drive according to http://www.google.de/maps/dir/Fürstenrieder+Str.+249,+81377+München/Ebne+41,+6632+Ehrwald,+Österreich and pick up co-hikers along the way.  The price may vary slightly depending on the number of folks in the car and the parking fees.

Tidiness rules for the folks who get a ride with my car: (1) keep your dirty hiking gear (e.g., dirty boots and dirty hiking-pole tips) in bags of yours (and sit in the car in relatively clean street shoes or relatively clean flip-flops), (2) don't eat inside (everyone may drink pure water, and the driver may sip a caffeine drink), and if you are really hungry, ask the driver to stop and then eat outside, and (3) someday – and that day may never come – I will call upon you to help me cleaning the car with time or money. Other drivers may (or may not) have their own regulations concerning their cars.

The tour is unguided; I'm not a guide. Every hiker acknowledges that he/she has fully read and understood the route description and would be able to hike it alone. He/she is fully responsible for himself/herself and hikes at his/her own risk.

I've just repaired a low-level error in the map of the route itself, so please update your GPX files (the time got smaller by a few minutes). Further, Wiener Neustädter Hütte has just closed for the winter, including the highest portion of the hike (cf. https://wiener-neustaedter.com). Finally, there's going to be rain between Saturday and Sunday, so the trail is highly likely to be a bit wet. For all these reasons, I'm strongly considering shortening the hike to https://out.ac/INhVHt – in this case we hike 10.1 km and 3:25 h, returning to Munich already around 14:05. (We may also start earlier – if you wish – to have more of the rest of the day in Munich.) Would that be fine? Please yell if that's not o.k. with you.

As announced earlier (and because nobody complained), and due to one more reason (I damaged my right hand a bit, so I prefer to skip the hiking poles myself and take less elevation), I shortened the hike now. There are no huts on the way, so, if at all necessary, we're likely to stop for bio-breaks before and after the hike at petrol stations.

Shaleen and I have not seen the rest of you for quite a while (50 min). Anyhow, we are proceeding along the route on the current map. Hopefully everything is fine with you all. Just proceed.
