Hey everyone,
Our new website is now online: Wayfarers Munich. This is a pretty basic one launched to make the organisation a bit easier and to keep the communication between our fellow hikers ongoing. There's also a facebook group 'Munich International Hikers' where you can find additional photos and maybe videos - due to the limited webspace at our homepage. In future the hikes will be announced on Toytown as usual but you'll find additional info at the homepage.
Happy Easter!

So. Now the details.
Drinking:
When: Wednesday June 18th, 8ish
Location: "Zum Flaucher", beergarden, U3 Brudermühlstraße or Thalkirchen, Bus 54 Schäftlarnstraße
If you want to discuss or have suggestions for the next day trip (see below) or upcoming weekend hut trips this is the place.
Hiking:
Our next day trip (Sunday, June 22nd) will take us to the Soiernspitze (2257m) in the most northern part of the Karwendel Mountains.
This hike is a quite demanding one. It's rather long - 8-9h - and we have to overcome an ascent of 1600m. The hike is only suitable for the fit and sure-footed (?) people among you.
There is a lot of scree and there still might be some snow fields, so be prepared.
Due to the length of the tour we'd leave with the first train at 8.09am from the Hauptbahnhof. Meeting is then at 7.45am at the latest in front of the tourist info of the Hauptbahnhof. After changing to the bus in Garmisch we would arrive in Krün at 10.20am. The last bus leaves the village at 7.58pm. But I'd prefer to go there by car. Just need to find one or two.

Hello people,
We were thinking about doing a hut trip to the Watzmann at the first weekend of July (5/6th). Since this is quite a hard one which requires special equipment ("Klettersteigset", helmet, hiking poles) I need to know who will definitely join. You can hire equipment at the alpenverein when you are a member.
You can google for "Watzmannüberschreitung" to get an idea what to expect.
Again, this is not an easy or moderate hike. You should have a decent level of fitness since it takes at least 7 hours from the hut to cross the Watzmann with its 3 peaks.
This Klettersteig (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_ferrata) includes several spots which are quite exposed and if you are afraid of heights this might be a bit too much. I would bring along a helmet. In case there are many people around - the Watzmann is a classic, so if there's sun there are people - it can get a bit dangerous on the descent to the valley.
Please let me know by Thursday evening (June 26th) if you want to join. I can start planning then.
I'll also think about an alternative because we can only do the trip in very good weather.
