Late again but had to stock up at the Apotheke on magnesium. I am certain coffee in Austria tastes better than in Germany and definitely better than in Canada. Maybe it’s the proximity to Italy? Although Australians claim their coffee is the best! 😊 The breakfasts are amazing in most places too and this oneContinue reading “Day 11: Wattens to the Lizumer Hütte – 19km”

Day 10: Wattens – a recovery day and Svarovski Kristallwelten (6km)
Slept in, had a fabulous breakfast and then spent more than 2 hours figuring out how to get from the Lizumer Hütte to Hintertux in 2 days as well as coming up with a general plan for the next week. I might steer into the direction of Bozen or Bolzano in Italian to see aContinue reading “Day 10: Wattens – a recovery day and Svarovski Kristallwelten (6km)”
Day 9: Hallerangerhaus to Wattens – 24km and 1700m down!
Had a lovely cafe macchiato for breakfast and actually managed to leave at 8:30. Must have been my earliest morning! Working on it! Just when I wanted to leave it started drizzling again. So everybody got their rain gear out again. Very steep climb up to the Lafatscherjoch (2081m). Quite foggy on the way upContinue reading “Day 9: Hallerangerhaus to Wattens – 24km and 1700m down!”
Day 8: Scharnitz to Hallerangerhaus – 13.5km
Decided to take it a little easier today and the innkeeper of the Risser Hof arranged for a shuttle to take me up into the Hinterautal to the Lanier Alm. This saved me about 15km. In retrospect I should have taken the train much earlier yesterday and walked the whole valley today because it wasContinue reading “Day 8: Scharnitz to Hallerangerhaus – 13.5km”
Day 7: Vorderriß to Scharnitz, Austria – 24km
I had played with the idea of taking a route over the Falkenhuette to Scharnitz but it looked like a rainy day and I decided to take a toll road out of the valley heading west to Wallgau, Mittenwald, and then Scharnitz. I should have followed the cycling/hiking path which would have spared me aboutContinue reading “Day 7: Vorderriß to Scharnitz, Austria – 24km”
Day 6: Tutzinger Hütte to Vorderriß – 14km
I decided yesterday that I will create my own tour. I want to be able to enjoy the experience too not just accomplish an athletic challenge. I want to be able to sit by a creek for half an hour if I feel like it. I will have to take the bus once in aContinue reading “Day 6: Tutzinger Hütte to Vorderriß – 14km”
Day 5: Bad Tölz to Tutzinger Hütte – 25km
It’s been a while since I had a chance to post anything. No reception, no wifi, an empty phone battery, and a blocked SIM card but here we go. Woke up at 4:30 and it was pouring rain. Just grateful I wasn’t hiking! Went back to sleep until just after 6:00 and decided to getContinue reading “Day 5: Bad Tölz to Tutzinger Hütte – 25km”
Day 3 and 4: Geretsried to Bad Tölz – 18km
Didn’t sleep well last night although my body was exhausted. Walking into town for dinner was just a bit much for my feet! Had too much going on in my head. After I leave the Lizumer Hütte on day 9 I have no reservations and my 2 options were completely booked when I checked lastContinue reading “Day 3 and 4: Geretsried to Bad Tölz – 18km”
Day 2: Kloster Schaeftlarn to Geretsried – 24km +
What was supposed to be a shorter day ended up a longer day than the first one. By taking a different route not all the way through Wolfratshausen I think I did a detour? Took some time in the morning to visit the monastry gardens and the church. The gardens host more than 80 differentContinue reading “Day 2: Kloster Schaeftlarn to Geretsried – 24km +”
Day 1: Munich to Kloster Schäftlarn – 22km
I made it! Not sure how as it was painful, hot, humid, sweaty, and gazillions of mosquitos in the forest. I guess they kept me moving! Took the train to downtown Munich and then left Marienplatz around 10:30. Quite late for a day of hiking but I was super frantic in the morning trying toContinue reading “Day 1: Munich to Kloster Schäftlarn – 22km”
