We’ll meet at 07:40 at Munich Hauptbahnhof and take the BRB RB57 train to Tegernsee at 08:02. The train arrives in Tegernsee at 09:10.
The hike starts at the Tegernsee station and leads us through forest paths up to the Riederstein chapel. After about 4 km, we’ll stop for an early lunch at Berggasthaus Riederstein am Galaun. Please note: the restaurant only accepts cash. From there, we continue to Baumgartenschneid and then descend back to Tegernsee for the return train to Munich.
This is a T2-level mountain hike. You should be in decent physical condition and comfortable walking for several hours on uneven ground.
Please bring:
- proper hiking boots

- a charged mobile phone
- optionally a small first aid kit
The Deutschlandticket is valid on this route. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to purchase a valid train ticket yourself.
I will create a WhatsApp group shortly before the hike to coordinate any last-minute changes and logistics.
