Meet at platform 34, at 10:10 for the train RB55 to Schliersee (final train destination Bayrischzell).  The train leaves at 10:30 but these trains get busy so we have more chance of getting a seat/sitting together if you arrive on time. Have your 9 euro ticket pre-purchased.

We will enjoy a relaxed sunday mellow hike starting at Schliersee, walking along the lakeside, stopping for lunch in a hut/cafe [ https://schnapperwirt.de ] then going to check out Josefthaler waterfall along the way [ https://www.auf-den-berg.de/wandern/bayern/wanderung-zu-den-josefsthaler-wasserfallen-am-schliersee/ ]

Finally we will reach Spitzingsee for a swim in the lake before heading back towards Schliersee just before 6pm. Maybe we grab a beer there if the group is keen :-) Please keep your afternoon clear as I do not plan to rush! Trains are once every hour back to Munich anyhow so we have options.

I am not a speed hiker and prefer to relax and enjoy the scenery and atmosphere while staying active :-) This is an easy hike, but be prepared to hike 12km / 400m elevation in the summer temperatures.

What to bring:

- Hiking shoes/trail shoes.

- Swimsuit/trunks, towel.

- Mask (still a requirement on public transport)

- Sun screen

- Bug spray

- Charged mobile phone

- Pre-purchased 9 Euro ticket

- Cash for the hut/cafe

- Enough water for the hike + food/snacks

- Proof of vaccination / recovery (just incase)


STANDARD DISCLAIMER:
Hiking can be dangerous. I am not a mountain guide, and everybody joining this hike does this at their own risk.  Please prepare by downloading the GPX route incase you get separated from the group for whatever reason.
