Trekking, Hiking and walking holidays - Experience Germany in a different way
The numerous hiking regions in Germany will exceed your expectations and the variation between the areas is very large. In other words, Germany is the perfect destination for all hikers. You can look forward to historic cities, glistening lakes and rivers - and hikes that take you right into the heart of German culture. Germany is also suitable for those who want the more alpine hikes and there is a beautiful mountain landscape just waiting to be explored. You could consider the classic hike around the Zugspitze, for example.
Our most popular walking holidays in Germany
The German mountains
We have the Ice Age to thank for the many swimming opportunities and the beautiful landscape of the German mountains - just as we have the Celts and Romans to thank for the historical treasures they have left us. Like King Ludwig II, we fell in love with the area between Munich and the Allgäu and the adventurous trails in King Ludwig's footsteps. In southern Germany there are magnificent views of the Swiss and Austrian Alps. One thing is certain: A walking holiday in the German mountains is a sure hit.
The Bavarian Alps
Enjoyment and conviviality characterise Bavaria, which is one of the reasons why so many of our guests choose to visit this region. Here you will experience traditional inns, beautiful lakes and impressive panoramic views of southern Germany. The hiking routes from Königsee to Chiemsee and the Salzalpensteig are legendary. If you want to experience lush lakes, consider the Hiking Holidays in Bavaria between Lakes and Alps. You can also enjoy the fresh mountain air on the hike around Zugspitze.
Central Germany
This area can also satisfy the most demanding hikers. Beautiful landscapes and culturally interesting towns are a perfect spice to the delicious hiking routes. Here you can consider our walking tour along the Moselle River or the beautiful walking tour along the Rhine.
