A roundtrip through the beautiful Ochsensitz, Ziegelspitz, Notkarspitze, Hanseljöchel, and Gießenbach! Please familiarize yourself with the route http://www.komoot.de/tour/1393287884?ref=wtd&share_token=aS3fiePiCWPx4Kj4mYUZUB1dUQx8dFRRG3N8xmnoM8C5Klhs1F , the weather a few days before the hike (e.g., http://www.meteoblue.com/de/wetter/historyclimate/weatherarchive/notkarspitze_deutschland_6939931), and the weather forecast (e.g., http://www.meteoblue.com/de/wetter/woche/notkarspitze_deutschland_6939931) before joining. Folks who wish to have a more gradual descent may consider ascending only up to Ochsensitz, then very gradually descending to Roßalm-Diensthütte, and finally joining the rest of the group on the original path from there back to the parking lot.

Necessary:
• ankle-covering hiking boots,
• plenty of water (the exact amount depends on your weight; I recommend ⩾ 3 L),
• warm clothes, and
• head lamp.

Advisable:
• gaiters (weather-dependent, in case of snow on the ground),
• crampons (weather-dependent, in case of ice on the ground),
• hiking poles,
• snow shoes (weather-dependent, in case of lots of snow on the ground),
• rain protection  (weather-dependent, in case of rain), and
• snacks.

Optional:
• your own lunch,
• sunscreen, and
• eyeglasses.

In case of heavy rain, heavy snow, violent wind, or thunderstorm, the hike might be canceled, modified, or moved for safety reasons. For the hike to take place in any form, ⩾ 3 participants must show up.

I can pick up co-hikers along the route http://www.google.com/maps/dir/Fürstenrieder+Str.+249,+81377+München/Gießenbacher+Weg,+82488+Ettal .

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 in the car unless you're starving, in which case ask the driver to stop and then eat outside, whereas everyone may drink pure water, and the driver may also sip a caffeine drink, 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 car owners 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 according to it alone. He/she is fully responsible for himself/herself and hikes at his/her own risk.
