Safety information

Mountain Rescue Tips:

Tour Preparation:

- Equipment adapted to difficulty, weather, and season

- Equipment for unplanned events: headlamp, rain jacket, first aid kit, mobile phone

Let others know about your tour:

- Tours with two people are more enjoyable and safer

- Inform the reception about your plans and when you intend to return

- In emergencies, summit or hut book entries or conversations with hut keepers can save lives (mobile networks are not always reliable in the mountains!)

In case of emergency:

- Stay calm, dial emergency number: 112

- Where? Make sure where you are and activate your location and mobile data services!

- What? When? What injury? How many?

- If you have mobile network, do not change your location under any circumstances!

- Provide first aid

Roadbook

From the hotel, head west towards Krottenkopfstraße. Follow the signs to Lake Barmsee, along Krottenkopfstraße over blooming meadows to the northern shore of Lake Barmsee. Very beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. Continue following the signs and the path towards the Barmsee district. In summer, be sure to refresh yourself in the lake. Large bathing shore on the west side. The Alpine inn Barmsee invites you to stop for a meal. From there, follow the road towards Krün; after the parking lot, turn left and walk along the Kranzbach, past Maximilianshof and back to Krün via Krottenkopfstraße.
