Hiking in the beautiful scenery of the highest German mountain Zugspitze! Please familiarize yourself with the route http://out.ac/INiIA4 before joining. The hardest part is a lower portion of the short Georg-Jäger-Steig, which involves a tiny bit of the easiest scrambling type A.

Necessary:

• ankle-covering hiking boots and
  
• plenty of water (the exact amount depends on your weight; I recommend ⩾ 3 L).

Advisable:

• warm clothes,
• crampons,
• gaiters,
  
• head lamp, and
  
• rain protection (e.g., raincoat or poncho).
  

Optional:

• via-ferrata gear including a helmet,
• hiking poles,
• food, and
  
• snow shoes (when much snow is expected there).

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, pick up co-hikers along the way, and allocate time for a bio break in Austria shortly before arriving in Ehrwald. 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 or boxes 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 starving, 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 to clean 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.
