Description

You must read the instructions carefully before joining!

Event Description thanks to Thomas's courtesy and organisation in the past years!


Tentative date, depending on the weather! Alternative date is Mon. 12th August. The hike will be postponed or cancelled if the weather forecast 24 hours before the event does not predict a clear sky.


Plan: We will meet at Winklmoosalm, hike to the Steinplatte, watch the sunset, and return to Winklmoosalm. At the Starpark we will watch the stars, milky way and perseids. You can bring a Mat to lay down and watch the Night sky. We can leave the stuff we won't need while hiking, in the car.


Preliminary schedule:

  • ~ 15:00 start in Munich
  • ~ 16:45 arrival at Winklmoosalm Parkplatz
  • 17:00-17:15 (sharp!) start hiking
  • ~ 20:30 sunset at Steinplatte,
  • ~ 22:30 back at Winklmoosalm
  • window of best visibility/max. rate if there is a clear sky: after midnight
  • ~ 02:00 departure from Winklmoosalm (up to each car)


Legal disclaimer: This is not a guided tour. I merely organize the trip to the starting point with like-minded, qualified, properly equipped and reliable persons. Every participant must be able to navigate her/himself on the suggested route. If you join, you acknowledge that hiking is dangerous, you are fully responsible for yourself and that you have sufficient insurance (DAV, Bergrettung or similar).


Note: Please unjoin the event well in advance (24h), if you don't want to come. You cannot unjoin the event when it is starting in less than 12 hours. No-shows will be recorded in your profile.
Good to know

Camera flash must be disabled. Activate the blue light filter (night mode) on your smartphone, if it supports it.

Things to bring:

  • hiking shoes/boots (it might be slippery, you might stumble in the dark)
  • headlamp or torch with red light (see policy)
  • drinks (minimum 1l)
  • food/snacks for dinner (the hut will probably be closed)
  • appropriate clothing (it may get cold, down to 10°C)
