Hi All

I'm looking to get out into the mountains this summer and today I picked up the ZAW Wanderprogramm from Hauptbanhof.

My German is so-so to pretty bad so I'm just wondering a few things -

a) Has anyone been on any of these organised walks?

b) what kind of fitness standard - i.e. do they go superfast with superfit people? (not me)

c) Do they cost to go on?

Hopefully it will be good for my German and good for my fitness to go on them. Does anyone go on any other organised hikes or is anyone interested in coming out - either weekend or during the week - for a gentle paced hike?

a) yes. Most peope speaking German, your language knwolidge will profit while you walk.
b) normal fitness, lots of middle aged people.
Standard:
" easy
** good paths, altitude difference 300 - 500
*** some mountain paths, altitude difference more thän 500 m, perseverance needed
*** steep mountain paths, altitude difference more than 800 m

c) no costs for guide, just buy your own ticket
