Hi, 

I am planning a via-ferrata hike to Tegelberg this Sunday and would be happy to have some company. I like cracking poor jokes and can be talkative at times. ;)  I did this trail a few weeks back but took the A/B route due to rain and very slippery conditions, planning to take the C Ferrata route this time. 

PS- No beginner tour, previous Ferrata experience needed. In many places, there are no footholds needing arm strength to stay or pull oneself up. 

Checkout the following video to familiarize with the trail - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7qRtjpUDPc

We will catch the train towards Buchloe - Fussen - Tegelbergbahn, Schwangau at 7:39

The last bus from Tegelbergbahn, Schwangau  is at 18:17

 This route is generally very busy on weekends, be prepared to stay at uncomfortable locations for a long (so Resting Sling would be mandatory).
