Geierstein - Fockenstein (6:30h, 1170hm) 🔴
📅 Hike Dates
- April 7, 2024 Completed
Are you ready for another hike? The Geierstein & Fockenstein are a classic. It is part of the Maximiliansweg, which is part of the European long distance path E4. As it’s a known route we’ll not be alone, so better do it at the beginning of the year.
We start in Lenggries, start going up at the Kalvarienberg to our first summit, the Geierstein, which is mostly going up. After a hort break we head to the next and main summit, the Fockenstein. Depending on the group we make a longer or shorter break and head to the Aueralm, where we can have a drink or also something to eat, before we descend to Bad Wiessee, where we take the Bus to Gmund and the train back to Munich.
If you join by train, I assume you to have a Deutschland-Ticket. If not, please check who else needs a ticket and align to get one on time.
