Germany's Bavarian Alps and lakes 8-day Self-guided Walking Tour Level 2
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!
Easy walks with stunning views along walking paths and forest roads. Big differences in heights are tackled by cable car. For the daily tours a good basic fitness level is required, since walking times vary between 3 and 5 hours. When possible, there are also more challenging routes on offer, which will lead you even higher up into the mountain areas.
