7 Days Bavaria Walking for Families (Self-Guided)
Bavaria just like on a picture postcard: majestic mountain tops, deep blue sparkling lakes, idyllic alpine pastures with grazing cattle – and lots more! Discover Bavaria’s most beautiful clichés during a week-long walking tour between Bad Tölz and Bayrischzell. Walk casually on marvellous panorama-paths through picturesque mountain scenery, have breaks along the way in pretty little mountain challets and enjoy a typical snack (‚Brotzeit’) and a cool big glass of beer. The lakes Tegernsee and Schliersee invite you to a swim, a dip into the refeshing waters of mountain lakes is always welcome on a hot summer’s day. Mountains, lakes and a Bavarian ‚Brotzeit’-snack – is there anything better than this?
Minimum age: 6 years old. Requirements: basic fitness, children should be used to walking for a few hours at a time and have a bit of walking experience. The walks are mainly across meadows, on forest tracks and good paths. Promising, comfortable hikes on good hiking trails and forest roads. Larger height differences are overcome by cable car, individual stages can be easily shortened by public transport.
