Join me on this wonderful hike from Eibsee to Südliche Riffelspitze (2250 m) via Riffeltorkopf (2230 m). We are going to make a loop which would be about 19 km as shown in the map. We will climb at a moderate climbing speed of 400-450 m/h. We are expected to start climbing at 10:00 in the morning and take the 17:10 bus connection back to Garmisch. Please check the itinerary below for more information.

Light showers are expected in the evening, so having a rain jacket is recommended. Additionally, we will stop at the Höllentalangerhütte for refreshments. 

The hike is rated at T4 level difficulty and is NOT suitable for beginners. Please familiarize yourself before joining the hike. Sturdy shoes and a head for heights are necessary for the hike.

Disclaimer:

I am not a mountain guide. I expect everyone who is joining the hike to behave and act responsibly. Everyone is responsible for themselves.

Additional information:

• This route skips the Höllenthalklamm gorge.
• The link to a Whatsapp group will be posted in the comments section on Friday evening (19.07.2024). Please join the group to get the latest updates.
• There might be some snow patches close to the peaks and on the ridges, so having spikes will be helpful. 
• If the weather changes to worse, I will postpone the hike.

1. A good mood and a smiling face 😁

Meeting point:

We can meet in front of Pl. 29 in Munich Hbf at 07:10 am. We will take the 07:32 RB6 train to Garmisch as shown in the Itinerary below. Please come early so that we can all get a place to sit. The train to Garmisch is usually very crowded. If the platform changes, I will update you accordingly. It is also fine if you wish to join the group from some other train station along with way.
