Lake Koenigssee & Hochkoenig 8-day Walking Tour

Explore two Alpine landscapes during this mountain hiking tour from Bavaria to Salzburg. The Eurohike team takes you on an eight-day tour along the beautiful pathways in the Bavarian and Salzburg Alps. A feeling of absolute calm as you gaze upon the impressive rock formations is included. Fixed point on each route: the detour into one of the many alpine huts, where a cool beer or sparkling ‘Kracherl’ will be waiting for you!

Highlights:

  • Königssee & Berchtesgaden National Park: Steeply rising rock walls and a nature reserve straight out of a picture book fill the eyes. If you look closely, you might catch a glimpse of a chamois or a shy marmot.
  • Alpine huts with homemade delicacies: A landscape with scenery as romantic as the famous Austrian ‘Heimatfilms’. Sitting right in the middle of it are numerous huts. Take a break and enjoy the hearty creations of the landlords.
  • Torrener Joch & Jenner: Expect a long climb to the border crossing and on to the Jenner summit. And at Bluntautal, you will be rewarded with unique alpine landscape and rugged rock formations.
