Description

Wendelstein is one of the most recognisable peaks around, with its observatory and masts, and it provides panoramic views over the fields of Bavaria to the north, and so much of the Alps to the south. Wildalpjoch, as the name suggests, is more wild, and should provide a more peaceful, tourist-free summit. Let's visit both on our journey into the Mangfallgebirge from the Inntal.

This is a long hike, with a lot of ascent, so please only register if you are happy that you are able to complete the route. This is not a run (expect to sweat anyway, given the weather), but we will not go too slowly, as there's a lot of distance to cover. That said, a saving of 200 m ascent and 2km is possible by omitting the summit of Wendelstein, so you are welcome to wait at the Wendelsteinhaus.

All hikers take part at their own risk. Read through everything below, and familiarise yourself with the route before participating. As this is a fairly ambitious hike, it is fairly dependant on the weather. I will decide on Friday whether to cancel.

Good to know

Transport

Meet on the platform at Munich Ostbahnhof (top of eastern stairs on platform 8) by 6:40, as that is when I will buy the ticket. If you are travelling from Hauptbahnhof (Salzburg train at 6:46 from platform 10), let me know when you register, and confirm you are there by WhatsApp/SMS by 6:35. We will buy the group ticket at Ostbahnhof, but a standard MVG (6-ring) ticket will cover your journey to Ostbahnhof. If you are late, let me know by SMS/WhatsApp so that I can buy you a ticket too. We will travel with a Guten Tag 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.

  • Munich Hbf 6:46 / Munich Ost 6:55 – 7:30 Rosenheim 7:35 – 07:44 Brannenburg
  • Bayrischzell ##:32, taking 82 mins to Munich Hbf (probably Bayrischzell 18:32 – 19:54 or 19:32 – 20:54)
