Using These Notes

An informative fieldbook can improve the questions you ask. It cannot make a mountain decision for you.

Publisher and scope

This website is published by Trailscootermeter Medien GmbH, Bergstraße 18, 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany; Amtsgericht München, HRB 294681. Contact: [email protected].

The content is general editorial information about accommodation inspired by historic meteorological stations. We do not sell stays, handle reservations, verify availability or act for the places and institutions mentioned. No affiliation or endorsement should be inferred from a name or external link.

History is not availability

A historical station may be an active scientific site, a restricted building or a ruin. Mentioning it does not establish a right of entry, overnight accommodation, opening hours or a safe approach. Confirm current arrangements with the responsible operator before making plans.

Schematic illustrations depict general concepts. They are not photographs of bookable properties, certified floor plans, navigation maps or live instrument readings.

Mountain safety and current information

These notes are not route instructions, professional guiding, medical advice or a forecasting service. Terrain, transport and weather conditions change. Use current official information, suitable mapping, relevant skills and qualified local advice where needed.

The website and contact address are not emergency channels. In an emergency, use the appropriate local emergency service. Do not wait for a response from us or rely on a planned stay as evidence that an approach is suitable.

Accuracy and external links

We aim to explain the subject carefully but cannot guarantee that every statement remains complete or current. External resources are controlled by their publishers. Their inclusion is a reading route, not a guarantee of their availability, accuracy or services. Report a possible correction through Contact, preferably with a source and the affected passage.

The contact notebook

The notebook prepares text on your device. Previewing, copying and downloading do not send a message, create a booking or establish a service commitment. You are responsible for reviewing the text and sending it through your chosen email service. Browser permissions or device settings may limit copying and downloading.

Permitted use and intellectual property

You may read, link to and make personal reference copies of the fieldbook. Other uses remain subject to applicable copyright law and any permission granted by the rights holder. Statutory quotation and other lawful exceptions are unaffected. Do not misrepresent these notes as an official forecast, route certification or endorsement.

Do not use the website to interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access or send unlawful material. Names of institutions and places remain associated with their respective organisations and owners.

Liability and mandatory rights

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including liability for intent, gross negligence, or injury to life, body or health. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. Other liability is governed by applicable law; these notes do not create a guarantee of a trip's outcome.

Applicable law

German law applies to the extent legally permissible. If you are a consumer, mandatory protections of the law otherwise applicable to you remain available. These terms do not impose an exclusive jurisdiction where doing so would conflict with mandatory law.
