Wrap Up
Ten people from two countries traveled 4+ hours to come together at the DAV hut in Hammer, surrounded by some beautiful alpine mountain ranges. Friday we started our journey to Fischbachau where we quickly loaded up on food for the weekend and then retreated into our own "private" hut to spend the weekend outdoors!
That's the peak where we're going!
After wraps, beers and the first night of sleep we embarked on the ambition trek from 750m up to 1838m to the Wendelstein top. After 5 hours and 1200m of ascent through ankle deep snow we finally made it to the top. The sunny weather was the cherry on top of the amazing view far into the distance.
Even though it was sunny, the ascent mostly occurred on the shadow, and thus snowy, side of the mountain
The view was definitely worth the exhausting climb. Up on the top we had a little drink, a well deserved lunch and photo shoot settings with us, others and birds. After not too long we started our descent because, daylight was going fast. We were slower than planned on the ascent which meant we would have to hurry down to not get stuck in the dark. Everyone had lights in case, but we wanted to avoid that situation as it would have increased risk.
The whole group near the top, from here it was just a quick climb to the final elevation of 1838m
With the last light quickly fading into night we made it to the train station on time before darkness set in
After some pasta pesto, salad, snacks and more conversations we went once again into our sleeping bags to get new energy for Sunday's hike. After a pancake breakfast we cleaned the hut, gathered our things and set out for a leisurely hike without too much elevation. But a pretty one nonetheless!
Beautiful view of the Schliersee which we got to enjoy at the end of our great weekend adventure.
A very big thank you to Andrew for organising everything into the detail from hut, transport and the hikes. And also a very big thank you to everyone for helping so great with the cooking, cleaning and everything else, it made the whole weekend feel like a nice get together! It was a huge success and we can't wait to organize the next event like this, because one thing is for sure, we need to do this kind of event more often!
Until then, enjoy all the photos from this adventure below!
