Self-guided Walking Tour Bavarian Alps and lakes

What’s typically Bavarian? Beer gardens with chestnut trees and a hearty meal. Or glittering lakes with excellent water quality, perfect for cooling down. The mountains, such as the Hirschtal-Sattel, the Gindelalm, the Taubenstein and the Wendelstein, which you pass on this hiking tour, are also typically Bavarian. You will see: after a week of hiking, you will have completely absorbed the Bavarian lifestyle between the mountains and lakes. After all, you really only get to know a region while on foot!
