What we’re about
International hiking group in Munich. Day trips to the Alps, and longer trips abroad.
What to bring: hiking boots or hiking shoes, backpack, snacks and water, sunhat, sunglasses, sun cream, water proof jacket.
Always a good idea: light jacket or sweater in case if it gets cold, dry shirt if the first one is wet from sweating, rain trousers, hiking poles.
Who can come?
Depends on the tour. The easier ones require you to manage 4 to 5 hours of walking with continuous 2 to 3 hours of ascent (often steep). Also you should not have problems with heights. At some points you need to hike on cliff edges and sometimes you even need your hands. The difficulty will be announced on each tour. So please make sure that you are fit enough.
What else?
Things don't always work out as planned. Weather, trains, and conditions can change without notice, so a resilient sense of humour is always required. This is a meeting of friends organised by unpaid volunteers so you remain responsible for your own safety.

See all- Aiplspitz đź”´ (medium, 1161hm, 5:20h)MĂĽnchen Hbf, MĂĽnchen
Another weekend with promising weather (at least it stays dry so far).
The ascent to Aiplspitz (there’s more in the german Wikipedia article) is a fun one. There’s some height meters to cross, and at the end it get’s a bit more fun. That’s why I think it’s not a beginner tour, but it’s also not a hard one.
From here, heading to Jägerkamp is a classic, but I’ve yet not been at the “Wilde Fräulein”, so we’ll see how this turns out.
Of course there’s a hut, where we can have something to drink, maybe something to eat.
We don’t need to descent back to the beginning, only to the Spitzbergsattel.See the full track at alpenverenaktiv.
From here there are multiple ways to return to munich. The easiest is to use the Bus 362, change in Schliersee and get back to munich. We everybody usualy has a Deutschland-Ticket, you can also decide to exit the bus and make a stop at Schliersee for a short swim, or you can also descent further from Spitzingsattel. This is all on you (my current preference is to take a break at the Spitzingsee, but we’ll see how the weather will be).
If you join by train, I assume you to have a Deutschland-Ticket. If not, please check who else needs a ticket and align to get one on time.
