In August 2024 I went for a short hut trekking tour planned a week in advance. Together with some friends I travelled to Kufstein by train where we took the bus to a small village called Ebbs. After waiting for roughly two hours in a café (thunder and heavy rain upon arrival) we started around half past three in the afternoon towards the Vorderkaiserfeldenhütte.

Duration: 2 hours and 20 minutes (excluding breaks)
Length: 5.5 km
Elevation: 474 m to 1389 m
Ascent/Descent: 915 m ↑ and 0 m ↓

Let's continue where we stopped last week: still at the Stuttgarter Hütte, still day 2 of the Lechquellenrunde.
We listened to the inn keeper and split our tour in half as snow prevented us from taking the "normal" way through the Madlochjoch: First down to Zürs on the same route as yesterday and then we took the bus to Zug via Lech.
From there on it was all up again until we reached the Ravensburger Hütte at the Spullersee. The sun was strong during the second part and I sweated a lot.

Duration: 3 hours and 45 minutes in total (excluding transfer times, but including breaks while hiking)
Length: 11 km
Elevation: 1485 m to 2310 m
Ascent/Descent: 570 m ↑ and 725 m ↓

Because we had to reroute again on the second day on our take on the Lechquellenrunde in June 2024, we started the day with an unplanned summit ascent.

From Stuttgarter Hütte it took us roughly an hour to reach the Fanggekarspitze (2640 m). Gladly the snow-covered path was already groomed.
While the weather on the hut was lovely, it got really cold, windy, grey and misty the higher we got. Sight distance was probly between 10 to 15 meters at the peak.

The hike towards the next hut (still day 2!) will be featured in another post next Thursday.

Duration: 2 hours and 15 minutes (including small breaks)
Length: 4.25 km
Elevation: 2310 m to 2640 m
Ascent/Descent: 350 m ↑ and 350 m ↓

At the end of June 2024 we started a 6-day hut trekking tour, the Lechquellenrunde. Reservation problems at two huts forced us to change our original plan and follow the trail in reverse. After staying in Sankt Anton am Arlberg the days before, we reached our starting point, Lech-Zürs, by bus. From there it was a rather short hike up to the first hut, the Stuttgarter Hütte, which is situated at 2310 m right on the Tyrol side of the Tyrol-Vorarlberg border. Because the weather was really "meh" and we reached the hut at 10 o'clock in the morning, we had lots of time to chat with an employee of the hut, who studied in the same city as us.

Duration: 2 hours (including small breaks)
Length: 5.75 km
Elevation: 1715 m to 2310 m
Ascent/Descent: 635 m ↑ and 40 m ↓

@Werschweinchen inspired me to make a wrapup post myself.

I'm really content with how 2025 went down: First and foremost I'm father of a healthy child now and experienced lots of exciting new things this year. Coming to the sporty side 2025 was a more active year for me than 2024 and as a result I lost about 10 kilograms.

Let's look at some stats:

- I ran 588 km (cumulative elevation gain 5500 m) in 66 hours and 7 minutes (in Germany and Austria).
- I cycled 567 km (cumulative elevation gain 8600 m) on my gravel bike in 29 hours and 21 minutes (all in Germany).
- I hiked 462 km (cumulative elevation gain 13700 m) in 105 hours and 29 minutes (in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy).
- I had 529 rides in public transit accumulating to more than 13000 km in roughly 228 hours (in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Italy).

I'm hyped about all the adventures, challenges and wonders waiting in 2026.

Hinter dem neunten Türchen des #huettenadventskalender ist das Bodenschneidhaus auf 1.353 m in den Schlierseer Bergen im Mangfallgebirge, einem Teil der Bayerischen Voralpen zwischen Tegernsee und Schliersee unter dem Gipfel der Bodenschneid. Sie gehört der Sektion Bodenschneid des Deutschen Alpenvereins .

Erbaut wurde die Hütte 1916. In den Jahren 1960 und 1965 wurde dann das Haupthaus aufgestockt. Es existieren 17 Betten und 31 Lager. Duschen sind keine vorhanden. Die Hütte ist ganzjährig bewirtschaftet.

Der Zustieg geht sowohl vom Tegernsee als auch vom Schliersee auf einfachen Wegen (maximal T2), und so bietet sich eine Überschreitung an. Ich war Anfang Mai 2024 dort, der Gipfel war leider noch nicht schneefrei und musste daher ausfallen.

Am Wochenende sind diese Hütten in den Bayerischen Alpen naturgemäß schnell ausgebucht, ansonsten geht es in der Regel ruhiger zu.

Hinter dem fünften Türchen des #huettenadventskalender befindet sich das Spitzsteinhaus. Es liegt auf 1.252 m in den Chiemgauer Alpen auf der Südseite des Spitzsteins. Die Hütte selbst ist auf österreichischem Staatsgebiet, die Grenze verläuft aber nur wenige Meter davor. Das Haus ist ganzjährig bewirtschaftet.

Es gibt Zugänge von beiden Seiten, also von Sachrang am Ende des Prientales in Bayern und von Erlerberg aus dem Inntal in Österreich. Der Besuch des Spitzsteinhauses bietet sich also als Überschreitung an. Den Spitzstein erreicht man von der Hütte in einer knappen Stunde (Schwierigkeit: T2).

Auf der Hütte hat man 20 Betten und 50 Lager. Ich war an Ostern dieses Jahres dort und hatte kurzfristig sogar ein Zimmer für mich alleine bekommen.

Temperature rose to 30 °C before midday on day eight of our crossing of the Alps and although the hike was not really challenging, we sweated a lot. After a long way down from Wangenitzseehütte to Iselsberg, we took the bus to Lienz, had a stroll though the city, boarded an ÖBB CityShuttle and finally reached our final destination for this day: Sillian near the Austrian-Italian border.

Duration: 6 hours (including breaks)
Length: 14.5 km
Elevation: 1120 m to 2620 m
Ascent/Descent: 150 m ↑ and 1550 m ↓
