Hiking in Eas­tern Bava­ria — Feu­er und Eis Tou­ris­tik — Expe­ri­ence natu­re actively

Fol­low the varied cour­se of the Jurast­eig trail and expe­ri­ence the gent­le karst land­scape at your own pace. This loop trail leads through fra­grant juni­per heaths, past rug­ged rock for­ma­ti­ons and deep river val­leys. The unspoi­led trails and secluded cast­les cha­rac­te­ri­ze the rou­te, making the hike a true natu­re expe­ri­ence in the heart of the Bava­ri­an Jura.

Run­ning from the gent­le Jura Moun­ta­ins in a com­ple­te­ly dif­fe­rent direc­tion is the Gold­steig, one of Germany’s best-known and lon­gest long-distance hiking trails. The chal­len­ging nor­t­hern rou­te takes hikers over the striking thousand-meter peaks of the Bava­ri­an Forest, whe­re the Rachel, Lusen, and Gro­ßer Arber reward them with spec­ta­cu­lar pan­o­r­amic views.

The Bava­ri­an Forest Natio­nal Park has also evol­ved over time and is now deep­ly shaped by natu­re con­ser­va­ti­on efforts. In Germany’s oldest natio­nal park, natu­re is still allo­wed to be natu­re, which is why the trails wind through pri­me­val-like forests, past dead­wood, and over wild moun­tain streams. High up at the tree line, pure tran­qui­li­ty reig­ns, allo­wing for an enjoya­ble hike through a legen­da­ry wil­der­ness with swee­ping views all the way to the Alps.
