Rotwand Hike

In the crew chat, you can coordinate in advance with others to travel together by train or form a carpool to the starting point of our hike at Lake Spitzingsee. If you’re not starting directly from Munich, you can also join us at the starting point at Lake Spitzingsee at 9:15 AM. We’ll coordinate travel arrangements and the exact meeting point in the crew chat.

After getting to know each other and traveling together by train, it’s time to lace up our hiking boots and set off towards Rotwandhaus. We’ll make our way across alpine meadows, panoramic trails, and through small stretches of forest, gradually climbing towards the summit and connecting as a crew, step by step.

Hike details:

Approx. 6 hrs | → 16 km | ↗ 1,000 m elevation gain | ↘ 1,000 m elevation loss

Once we reach the summit, the view is all ours. 360° panoramic views of the Bavarian Alps as far as the eye can see — shared with an amazing crew.

After the climb, we’ve earned a well-deserved Kaiserschmarrn or a hearty snack. Full from the food but probably still not full of the mountain views, we slowly get ready for the descent.

We’ll hike past waterfalls and crystal-clear natural pools along peaceful trails. Spending time together in nature — that’s what makes the day so special.

For those with energy to spare, there’s definitely time for a refreshing dip in the lake before heading home! Then we’ll make our way back to Munich together. We expect to arrive at Munich Central Station between 6:30 and 7:30 PM.
