点评:Writing this down because it was the adventure of a lifetime for me, BUT this adventure is not suitable for people with walking challenges.
Summary:
The Eiskapelle adventure was enormous fun for my friend and I but not suitable for anyone because of the risk and danger involved. If it rains, don’t go, if it snows, don’t go, if the ground is slippery, don’t go, if visibility is low, don’t go.
Once you leave the path with trees, it takes a good eye to spot the markings for directions, but this is the fun part - you will need to figure out where you can find the Eiskapelle and remember your way home.
Looking back, we experienced such fun because we expected a normal hiking path with super clear signage to the Eiskapelle, so we did not read any trail path maps. This is how our hike turned out totally unexpected when we realised we were in a scenery that looked like in wildlife documentaries, thought we were lost in the wild, and were pressured with time.
Detailed Notes:
Warning - This is not suitable for kids and elderly with walking challenges. Hiking boots are essential for your own safety/protection. Travel light. Wear waterproof as it might drizzle / rain lightly. Do not go if it's raining/snowing. Avoid solo adventure here.
Warning - the Eiskapelle is naturally formed and could collapse at any time. This is why many tourist information materials have a warning message recommending people to avoid going in. You can still get some nice photos from the entrance of the Eiskapelle, without going in them. It’s already fantastically fun doing the hike.
How to get there?
Get the 20€ boat return ticket (2 hour total return time, check timetable a day before), take the boat from Schifffahrt Königssee to St. Bartholomä.
Hike from St. Bartholomä to Eiskapelle and return, 9km with 470m elevation gain. You can EASILY spend more than half a day here for more adventure, just note the last boat that takes ALL remaining humans back to civilisation leaves at 6pm.
There are clear signs from St. Bartholomä towards the Eiskapelle until you see the rivers in the huge mountain valley, the walk gets slightly challenging from here. And the fun begins.
(Option A: If you want to increase the challenge and the fun to figure things out yourself, do not read on, and do not look at trail maps - such as Google map which states the exact path from the boat to the Eiskapelle.)
(Option B: If you don’t want to look at trail maps because you want to find the way yourself in the wild, read my descriptions below.)
(Option C: If you want more clarity and know everything in advance and see where you are going, read this official page, especially its trail map at the bottom of the page, and my descriptions below.)
Keep walking alongside the river until you are in the large middle ground of the valley where two yellow colour warning signs are located (warning of falling stones).
Next, keep walking forward while trying to spot a small black hole on your right that is surrounded by chalky white colours. Congratulations, you’ve found one of the Eiskapelle and glaciers!
This Eiskapelle is located slightly high up from the Watzmann mountain foot. You should be aware that this cave is challenging to climb up but there is a lower cave on its left. If you decide to climb up the right side cave, do be extra careful of the slippery stones. Navigate your routes in advance to avoid falling/slipping.
The left side cave is more easily accessible than the right side cave but you cannot see it before you get nearer. So you need to just have faith, go towards the chalky white glacier on the left side, climb up just a little until the left cave becomes visible to you. Congratulations, you’ve found the second Eiskapelle!
翻译:写下来是因为这对我来说是一生难忘的冒险,但这种冒险不适合步行困难的人。
概括:
Eiskapelle 冒险对我和我的朋友来说非常有趣,但由于涉及风险和危险,不适合任何人。下雨不去,下雪不去,地滑不去,能见度低不去。
离开树木繁茂的小路后,需要用好眼力才能找到方向标记,但这是有趣的部分 - 您需要弄清楚在哪里可以找到 Eiskapelle 并记住回家的路。
回想起来,我们之所以体验到如此乐趣,是因为我们期望一条通往 Eiskapelle 的普通远足路径和非常清晰的指示牌,所以我们没有阅读任何路径图。这就是我们的徒步旅行完全出乎意料的原因,当我们意识到我们置身于一个看起来像野生动物纪录片中的风景中,以为我们迷失在野外,并且随着时间的推移而受到压力。
详细说明:
警告 - 这不适合行走不便的儿童和老人。登山靴对于您自身的安全/保护至关重要。轻装上阵。穿防水衣服,因为可能会下毛毛雨/小雨。如果正在下雨/下雪,请勿前往。避免在这里独自冒险。
警告 - Eiskapelle 是自然形成的,随时可能倒塌。这就是为什么许多旅游信息材料都有警告信息,建议人们避免进入。您仍然可以在 Eiskapelle 的入口处拍到一些漂亮的照片,而无需进入。徒步旅行已经非常有趣了。
到那里怎么走?
获得 20 欧元的回程船票(总回程时间为 2 小时,提前一天查看时刻表),从 Schifffahrt Königssee 乘船前往 St. Bartholomä。
从 St. Bartholomä 徒步到 Eiskapelle,然后返回,全程 9 公里,海拔增加 470 米。您可以轻松地在这里度过半天以上的时间来进行更多冒险,请注意最后一班将所有剩余人类带回文明的船在下午 6 点离开。
从 St. Bartholomä 到 Eiskapelle 有明确的指示牌,直到您看到巨大山谷中的河流,从这里开始步行变得有些挑战。乐趣开始了。
(选项 A:如果您想增加挑战和自己解决问题的乐趣,请不要继续阅读,也不要查看路线图 - 例如谷歌地图,其中标明了从船到 Eiskapelle 的确切路径。)
(选项 B:如果你不想看路线图,因为你想在野外自己找路,请阅读我下面的描述。)
(选项 C:如果您想更清楚地了解一切并提前了解您要去的地方,请阅读此官方页面,尤其是页面底部的路线图,以及我在下面的描述。)
继续沿着河边走,直到您到达山谷中间的大地,那里有两个黄色警告标志(落石警告)。
接下来,继续向前走,同时尝试在右侧发现一个被白垩色包围的小黑洞。恭喜,您找到了 Eiskapelle 和冰川之一!
这个 Eiskapelle 位于 Watzmann 山脚稍高的地方。你应该知道这个洞穴很难爬上去,但它的左边有一个较低的洞穴。如果您决定爬上右侧的洞穴,请格外小心光滑的石头。提前导航您的路线以避免跌倒/滑倒。
左边的洞穴比右边的洞穴更容易进入,但在你靠近之前你看不到它。所以你只需要有信心,走向左边白垩色的白色冰川,向上爬一点,直到你看到左边的洞穴。恭喜,您找到了第二个 Eiskapelle!
