From Munich to Garmisch

Across the Bavarian lakeland to Mount Zugspitze

Pure hiking bliss awaits during our holiday between the Bavarian capital Munich and the olympic town of Garmisch. During the first part of the holiday there is water in all shapes and forms to marvel at: the blue Isar river, waterfalls, gurgling streams and the imposing Bavarian lake scenery, with the renowned Lake Starnberger See leading the way and Lake Kochelsee framed by mountains, along whose lakeside a marvellous hiking experience awaits. Lake Kochelsee leads you into the splendid mountain region around Garmisch, which offers everything that defines a great hiking region: impressive mountain backdrops, high-altitude hiking tours with leisurely cable car rides as well as hearty alp huts offering Bavarian specialities.

In der Wegbeschreibung gab es ein paar wenige veraltete Informationen. Wir senden dazu eine separate Mail, falls gewünscht.

Alles Ok schöne Tour mit Hund.
Hallo zusammen, wie immer bei Eurohike war die Tour sehr gut! Die Unterlagen, GPX Dateien usw. waren klasse. Aber auch Verbesserung gibt es:Zwei Unterkünfte fielen etwas von den anderen Hotels ab, die Zimmer hatten 70 Jahre Stil. Bei Touren in der Vergangenheit waren alle Transferleistungen inkl. das war diesmal nicht der Fall z.B. Bahnstrecke von dem Ostersse nach Kochel. Nette Betreuung vor Ort besonders die Anlieferung der Koffer in Garmisch. Wir werden wieder 2023 mit Eurohike eine Tour mit Hund buchen!

Sehr geehrter Herr Bössem, vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback! Oftmals ist in den ländlichen Regionen der Einrichtungsstil noch etwas rustikaler und traditioneller, was aber oft auch einen besonderen Charme hat. Gerne werden wir trotzdem die beiden Unterkünfte überprüfen, um unsere Qualität der Wanderreise weiter zu steigern. Wir freuen uns Sie nächstes Jahr wieder gemeinsam mit Ihrem Hund auf einer unserer Wanderreisen begrüßen zun dürfen!

Sehr schöne Wandertour mit toller, abwechslungsreicher Landschaft. Auch für Wanderer im fortgeschrittenen Alter gut machbar.
Die Streckenbeschreibung war gut verständlich, wir haben uns auf den Reisebegleiter in Papierform verlassen. An den Osterseen ist die Wegbeschreibung manchmal ein bisschen irreführend, aber das Tagesziel findet man immer. Die Zeitangaben sind sehr genau. Die Hotels waren gut bis wirklich sehr schön, das Frühstück war immer super.

Erlebnisreicher Wanderurlaub
Erstklassige Organisation! Diese Tour war sehr abwechslungsreich und durchweg wunderschön. Wir kamen an Stellen und Orte, die wir ohne Eurohike niemals gesehen hätten. Verlaufen war dank der sehr sehr guten Beschreibung nahezu unmöglich. Die Hotels waren auch sehr gut gewählt. Wir werden nächstes Jahr auch wieder eine Tour mit Eurohike buchen.

Wunderschöner Wanderurlaub im Alpenvorland Bayerns
Wir waren von Anfang bis zum Ende mit unserer Wanderreise bei Eurohike sehr zurfrieden! Von der Betreuung bei der Buchung, über die vorab erhaltenen Reiseunterlagen bis zu den ausgewählen Unterkünften und Wanderstrecken vor Ort. Wir konnten die Ruhe und den Weitblick auf die Ammergauer Alpen und die Allgäuer Berge in vollen Zügen genießen und werden bestimmt wieder eine Wanderreise mit Eurohike buchen!
