Bavarian Alps & Lakes

Walking between Lake Tegernsee and Mount Wendelstein

8 Days / 7 Nights
Walking
Hiker at the Riederstein with a view of Lake Tegernsee

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 with Eurohike, 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!

The hiking holiday in the south of Germany is very comfortable and, above all, very promising. Every day you experience a little bit more of Bavaria, every day a new mountain, a new alpine pasture or a new lake. Do not miss large or small bodies of water – such as the Tegernsee, Schliersee or the picturesque Spinzingsee. You won’t want to take off your hiking boots for eight days.

  • The best views from the ship and cable car: whether crossing the Tegernsee, in the cable car up the Taubenstein or down from the Wendelstein – the cable car and boat trips are included!
  • Bavaria’s city gems: Bad Tölz and Bayrischzell are among the prettiest cities in the Free State, where the Bavarian attitude to life is still real and authentic. Let yourself enjoy the famous cosiness!
  • Pure alpine indulgence: When you cast your gaze over lush alpine meadows with mountain herbs and the palate is delighted with a typical snack, you are in the right place – namely an alpine pasture.

Spend the first hours of your walking holiday in the small town of Bad Tölz, perhaps with a crispy pretzel and a walk along the Isar. Over the next few days you can expect hikes between six and 17 kilometres in length, which last around three to five hours. The consistently easy hikes lead along good hiking trails and forest roads. You should plan enough breaks to swim in the lakes or to let your mind wander in nature! You will receive exact route details and maps from Eurohike before your trip.

Itinerary at a glance

The hiking routes in the Bavarian Alps are complemented by boat and cable car rides. The bustling marketplace in Bad Tölz and the alleys of Bayrischzell exude special charm, while the alpine pastures and lakes are pure paradise.

This well-known Bavarian small town is best discovered on a casual stroll: walk for a bit along the river Isar with the Golgotha in full view, then past the spa house into the market road. You can marvel at the beautiful houses whilst taking a break in one of the numerous pavement cafés.

Hotel example: Kolberbräu

After a short train journey to Lenggries,  you continue along the long-distance walking trail Via Alpina to the Aueralm via the Hirschtal-col below the steep rocks of Mount Fockenstein. Enjoy a descent break with Bavarian Alpine delicacies before you continue through forests and across meadows with a wonderful long-distance view down onto Lake Tegernsee and descend to Bad Wiessee.

Hotel example: Askania

You walk along high-altitude paths with amazing views, to the mountain inn Galaun, then onwards to the little mountain chapel on the rock formation of Mount Riederstein, from where you have a magnificent view down to the lake and onto the surrounding mountains. Once back on the lake the Tegernsee brewery inn invites to a cool beverage, before you return with the Tegernsee-ship to Bad Wiessee.

Hotel example: Askania

From Tegernsee you soon reach alpine pastures via a steep forest trail surrounding the well-known Alpine beer garden Neureuth. After a break with lovely views onto the lake you casually continue your tour to the Gindelalm alp and then you descend along forest paths and forest roads to Lake Schliersees and after the marina you reach the pretty and neat spa park situated directly at the lakeside of Lake Schliersee.

Hotel example: Gästehaus am Kurpark

Along the lakeside-adventure-path you get to Fischhausen. Then along the path ‚Bockerlbahnweg’ with numerous info points via the former forest railway, you first walk to the col ‚Spitzingsattel’ and then onwards to the picturesque Lake Spitzingsee. Walk round this nature idyll before you take a break in the historic challet  ‚Wurzhütte’ and then return by bus to Schliersee.

Hotel example: Gästehaus am Kurpark

A light and airy cable car ride takes you to the summit station on Mount Taubenstein. Then you walk on a high-altitude path with brilliant views to the Rotwandhaus, where you have the opportunity to climb to the peak of the Rotwand if you fancy. Onwards via the picturesque cirque ‚Großtiefentaler Kessel’ to Lake Soinsee with its idyllic location, then along alpine pastures and flowering meadows to Bayrischzell.

Hotel example: Alpenrose

The King-Maximilian-path leads you past a waterfall to the Wendelstein-Alp. From there you walk all the way to the summit with its impressive meteorological observatory and along the panorama-loop-path to the Wendelstein cave with its accessible underground tunnels. After a snack in the panorama-beer garden, you take the cable car back into the valley and casually walk back to Bayrischzell.
