Description

Who fancies a trip to the land of the dragon: Drachenkopf and Drachensee? This is a tough hike, with 1500 m ascent, some Grade I scrambling, and 22 km. It should be very rewarding, with great views over Zugspitze and Drachensee, where we will be able to cool off before the final ascent.

The event has been postponed from 16 June to 14 July, because there are risks of thunderstorms and rain all day, and so that we can make the most of the area without too much snow.

Transport

Meet on the platform by 6:55, as that is when I will buy the ticket. If you are late, let me know by SMS/WhatsApp so that I can buy you a ticket too. We will travel with a Werdenfels Ticket, which will cost around €11. If you are coming from elsewhere, and so need a Bayern Ticket to get to the station, please let me know in advance. This way you can buy one for everyone.
