About us
Off the Couch Munich is for people who enjoy doing things together - outdoors, active, and fun. We’re a group of internationals and open-minded locals who like spending time in the mountains and trying things that are just more fun with others - hiking, biking, hut weekends, pub games,
laser tag, exhibitions, cinema or the occasional city trip.
We keep things casual and real. No pressure to be super sporty - just come along, join in, and meet people who enjoy being out and about. If you’re into fresh air, good vibes, and shared experiences, you’ll feel at home here.
We're a new group building from the ground up, looking for a core crew of 10-20 people who actually show up regularly, not hundreds of passive members. If you're tired of flaky groups where nobody commits, this is for you. Small, intentional, and consistent.

Route

The WA group for coordination can be found in the comment section.We'll meet at 07:45 at Munich Hauptbahnhof and take the RB57 to Tegernsee at 08:02 (arrives 09:09). From Tegernsee Bahnhof we take bus 356 at 09:17 to Wallbergbahn (arrives 09:37). From there we sneak up on Wallberg from behind: the long, gentler back-side route instead of the steep front climb. Lunch options along the way: Wallberghaus on the route, Panorama-Restaurant Wallberg at the summit. After the summit we take the Wallbergbahn down (€15 one-way) and the same route back to Munich. Please bring cash for lunch and the cable car.
Note: The Setzberg (1,706m) is a short extra summit you can add from the main route if you're feeling strong. The chickens can wait in the Wallberghaus.
RSVP Expectations: Only sign up if you actually want to participate. If you signed up, show up. Cancel at least 24 hours in advance if plans change. Be on time. No-shows may be removed from the group. Passphrase: "In cable car we trust."
