Wiener-Neustädter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great, rustic hut. The view of the Zugspitze and the valley (especially at sunset) is amazing. The rooms and mattresses are in very good condition. The host is very friendly …

First Via Ferrata

Highlight • Climb

This is the first point from where you will need the kletterset. You can do it without it but its more safe if you use helmet at least.

June 18, 2022,Zugspitze via Stopselzieher Klettersteig 🧗

Birthday present for my brother on his 30th. So we went to the Zugspitze with the Garmisch Alpine School. From the Eibsee via the Wiener Neustädter Hütte and the Stopsel late via ferrata. A terrific way in glorious weather, of course we were not alone on the completely overcrowded summit. 2/7 Summits of the Alps done ⛰️

July 8, 2023,Eibsee to Zugspitze over Stopselzieher

This was my third climb of Zugspitze. But never had i done true climbing. I had taken cable car back after the climb. So this was by foot from the parking lot to the lot back.
Climbing down was not easy. Especially after you get tired of the climbing up. Still i made it on time.

July 1, 2023,2023.07.01 Zugspitze-Eibsee

The weather has been bad since yesterday: "milk soup". We still don't know how to go down. The stopper puller was planned. But the snow situation was not entirely clear. The landlady from the Munich house couldn't really help us either. We finally found two days old photos on the Internet - without snow. So we opt for the stopper …

Of course the time is wrong! Start 06:00 at the Eibsee and 13:45 at the top. Then queuing for another 30 minutes at the summit cross.

The ascent starts at the Eibsee car park first over a ski slope, the path then turns into a mountain path that is already insured with ropes in some places. The paths from Eibsee and Ehrwald meet in front of the Wiener Neustädter Hütte. At the hut you can fortify yourself again before heading into the Stopselzieh-
Via ferrata is …

August 13, 2022,🇩🇪🇦🇹 Der Zugspitze den Stopsel gezogen

After we climbed the highest mountain in Germany four years ago in two daily stages via the magnificent Reintal, the desire arose to climb the mountain again in one day. There are several ways to do this, including the long walk through the Reintal in one day. A shorter tour is via the Wiener Neustädter Hütte and the Stopselzieh via …
