Description

NOTE: Since weather conditions are changing drastically over time and I planned this hike pretty early, I keep my rights to change the hiking date (but hopefully we can do it)!

NOTE: Please check the gain and distance of the hike, it is not be beginner friendly. I do not go with the people who does not complete at least one T4 hike & >1200m uphill in one day and cannot keep 400 mph pace.

Kienjoch (1,953m) has a steep east slope down to the Kühalpental and an equally steep, rugged and rocky west slope high above Elmautal. The summit is a good lookout for the whole Ammergau region and provides great looks to Wettersteingebirge in the south and to parts of Lechtaler and Allgäuer Alpen in the west.

8:53 - 9:12 (Bus 9624) Oberau -> Graswang Gröbl-Alm, Ettal

9:15 - 18:45 hiking + late lunch at Stepbergalm Hütte
