New Year's
Eve Hike

Start the New Year with a Smile – Friends, Fireworks & a Winter Hike

Welcome the New Year in a special way: with a short winter hike to Baumgartenschneid, surrounded by nature, good company, and breathtaking views over the Tegernsee fireworks.

We’ll hike up for about 2 hours at an easy, relaxed pace, arriving in time to pause, connect, and enjoy the moment together. While waiting for midnight, we’ll warm up with mulled wine or hot tea, and as the clock strikes 12, we’ll raise our glasses of sparkling wine to the new year – with smiles, gratitude, and shared intention.

Overview - New Year’s Eve Hike to Baumgartenschneid

 

New Year’s Eve Hike to Baumgartenschneid – Fireworks, Views & Connection

Celebrate New Year’s Eve in a memorable way with a winter hike to Baumgartenschneid, combining movement, nature, and a shared moment to welcome the year ahead.

After about one hour of hiking, we’ll reach Riederstein (1,207 m), where we’ll take our first break and enjoy a stunning panoramic view over the Tegernsee. From here, we may already spot some early fireworks preparations in the valley below.

We’ll then continue our hike for another hour to reach the summit of Baumgartenschneid. Once there, we’ll have time to slow down, connect, and warm up with mulled wine or hot tea. As midnight approaches, we’ll take in the atmosphere together—and when the clock strikes twelve, we’ll toast the New Year with sparkling wine, celebrating with smiles, gratitude, and shared intention.

We’ll begin our descent around 12:30 a.m., heading back down under the winter night sky. We expect to arrive back at the parking area between 2:00 and 2:30 a.m., carrying tired legs, warm hearts, and smiles on our faces—grateful for a unique New Year’s experience shared with wonderful people.

About your guide: Cosmin Mihoreanu - certified UIMLA Bergwanderführer (Mountain Leader)

Since 2019, I’ve guided over 100 hikes that I personally organized, accompanying international visitors and guests through some of the most stunning landscapes—especially in Germany’s Bavarian Alps and across the beautiful Austrian Alps.

As a guide, I’m highly attentive and safety-oriented, ensuring that my guests feel confident and supported on the trail. I’m also deeply committed to protecting the environment, doing my best to minimize our impact and promote responsible hiking practices.

In addition, I am a certified NLP communication trainer and coach. This allows me to support individuals not only physically but also mentally and emotionally during our outdoor experiences. Using psychological NLP methods, I’ve helped several clients overcome their fear of heights and gain greater confidence in alpine terrain.
