Route Information
General information
Weather: Sunny, don't forget Sunscreen
Route: First time I do this track, so we will be ready to improvise on the spot.
Pace: Slow pace, you will be fine if you do sport on a weekly basis.
Transportation: Hopefully we will have enough room in the cars in order not to relay on public transportation.
Please Note: I am not a professional guide. Everybody is responsible for him/her/themself. Make yourself familiar with the route and its requirements. It's recommended to download the route (it can be found on this page) and bring a cell phone and first aid kit for emergencies.
Schedule (approx.)
- 9:30 - Start the hike from the Meetup point
- ~16:00 - Back to the cars
Do not plan anything right after a hike, we might come back much later than expected if something unexpected happens.
Gear
Mandatory: Proper hiking boots (or trail running shoes) with a good grip, lamp, warm clothes, gloves, spikes, sun cream, sun glasses.
You always need a lamp (head or handheld) with you, even during day hikes. Your phone is not a lamp.
See here an exhaustive check list of gear for single day hikes, and here my recommendations regarding spikes.
How can I join by public transports?
Case 1: You are the first one joining by public transports
- Click on Carpool (top of the page)
- Click on Add a car (even if it is not actually a car)
- Set the number of seats available to 5, so that others joining by public transports can just use your "fake car" instead of adding another one (it would get too messy on the carpool page).
- In the field Contact details, write "Fake car for Public transports"
- In the field Instructions, write "Join this fake car if you're also going by public transports"
- The other fields aren't relevant.
Case 2: Someone else already joins by public transports
- Join the fake car already created
Important: You need to figure out yourself which train / bus station you need to reach in order to be on time at the above mentioned parking / starting point of the route.
Other frequently asked questions
Where / when do we meet?
If you are a driver or joining by public transports, you need to be at the "Parking / Starting point" mentioned at the very top of this page. The time is also there. Plan to arrive 5 minutes earlier, at least.
If you are a passenger in a car, click on the carpool button. The meeting point should have been indicated by the driver on that page, as well as the time. Plan to arrive 5 minutes earlier, at least. In case of questions, reach out to your driver directly.
