Gent­le Alpi­ne foot­hills, crys­tal-clear moun­tain lakes and maje­s­tic peaks — the Bava­ri­an Alps are one of the most char­ming hiking regi­ons in Ger­ma­ny. Here, in the heart of Upper Bava­ria, you can expect a uni­que com­bi­na­ti­on of pris­ti­ne natu­re, living Bava­ri­an tra­di­ti­on and breath­ta­king pan­ora­mas. Whe­ther it’s a lei­su­re­ly stroll along the lakes­hore or a pan­o­r­amic high-alti­tu­de hike with views far into the Alps, hiking in the Bava­ri­an Alps is an expe­ri­ence for all the senses. 

The regi­on around the Tegern­see, Schlier­see and Spit­zing­see lakes is par­ti­cu­lar­ly impres­si­ve with its varie­ty of land­scapes and excel­lent net­work of hiking trails. Some­ti­mes you walk through shady moun­tain forests, some­ti­mes across sun­ny alpi­ne pas­tu­res, whe­re you can enjoy home­ma­de Bava­ri­an deli­ca­ci­es such as Kai­ser­schmarrn pan­ca­kes, bacon bread or fresh but­ter­milk in tra­di­tio­nal huts. In bet­ween, idyl­lic vil­la­ges with lively cul­tu­re and warm hos­pi­ta­li­ty invi­te you to linger.
