Summer in the southernmost state of Germany is like something out of a picture book. It boasts magnificent mountain peaks, deep blue sparkling lakes, moss-green forests and colourful alpine meadows with grazing cows on it. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not! Get the family together and wander through idyllic Bavaria. There is no better summer holiday, promise!

Water as smooth as silk with colourful sailboats bobbing on top, framed against the rugged mountain landscape. This is the gorgeous Tegernsee in beautiful Bavaria. It’s the perfect starting point for the seven-day hike to the Wendelstein. The route takes in varied mountain trails to rustic huts where you can sample delicious delicacies. Every day you and the kids can also cool down in the surrounding lakes.

  • Around the Wendelstein: On the penultimate day comes a hike up the well-known German mountain -the Wendelstein. The circular trail to the summit features a chapel and weather observatory. The goal is the Wendelstein cave with its underground passages. An experience for young and old!
  • Rustic mountain huts and hearty meals: What’s the highlight of every hike? The huts and restaurants, of course! They are to Bavaria as sand is to the sea. Delicious fragrant cakes, bread with obazda and delicious ‘Scheiterhaufen’ with lots of cinnamon and raisins. The children’s eyes will be gleaming!

Tour Bavaria for seven days as you go from lake Tegernsee to Riederstein, Bad Wiessee, Schliersee and Spitzingsee. On day five, you and your family will arrive by bus to Schliersee and finally to the end destination Bayrischzell. The average walking time is three to four and a half hours and requires good basic fitness for adults and kids. If you find it too strenuous, many stages can be shortened by public transport.

Have you always wanted to see Bavaria? Then you now have the opportunity to see it on holiday! Book yourself a warm and comfortable stay in Bavaria.
