Hiking in Southern Germany

Southern Germany is a year-round destination: in spring, the orchards on Lake Constance are in bloom, in summer, beer gardens and bathing lakes beckon, autumn brings golden wine landscapes, and in winter, Christmas markets and the Alps enchant with snowy splendor. In short: always a good idea - depending on your mood.

Eating a pretzel with a butter knife (just bite into it!), overlooking the seat reservation in the beer garden or forgetting to say “Grüß Gott” when hiking. And: Lederhosen are not a carnival costume - they are a way of life!

In addition to the Oktoberfest in Munich, there are countless wine festivals, Alpine cattle drives, carnival parades in Swabia, the Ulm Nabada, Cannstatter Wasen and traditional church fairs. If you want to experience southern Germany, it's best to come during the festive season.
