Feu­er und Eis Self-Gui­ded Tour

Upper Bava­ria’s lakes and sum­mit trails wit­hout lug­ga­ge transfer

from 868,- per person

This hiking tour takes you right into the heart of the pic­tures­que natu­ral sce­n­ery of Upper Bava­ria. Glis­tening moun­tain lakes, bloo­ming mea­dows, rustic Alpi­ne pas­tu­res and the con­stant tin­k­ling of cow­bells crea­te an atmo­sphe­re that accom­pa­nies you every step of the way. Hear­ty deli­ca­ci­es and a fresh­ly tap­ped beer await you in the cozy huts with views that are hard to put into words. Your rou­te beg­ins in the Isar­win­kel, whe­re the last wild river in Bava­ria still rus­hes unta­med. The rou­te con­ti­nues along varied paths to Lake Tegern­see. At the Rie­der­stein, whe­re a small cha­pel sits diz­zy­in­gly enthro­ned on a rock, a wide val­ley pan­ora­ma spreads out befo­re you — a moment to tre­asu­re. The striking Wen­del­stein announ­ces its­elf from afar. Tho­se who reach its sum­mit are reward­ed with a pan­o­r­amic view that is second to none. On warm days, the moun­tain lakes invi­te you to refresh yours­elf: the crys­tal-clear Spit­zing­see, the lively Schlier­see and the tran­quil Soin­see, each with its own cha­rac­ter, each a small natu­ral para­di­se. Look for­ward to a jour­ney that com­bi­nes con­trasts: enjoy­ment and exer­cise, tran­quil­li­ty and adven­ture, natu­re and cul­tu­re. And at the end, take a pie­ce of Bava­ri­an life­style home with you as an unfor­gettable memory.
