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.

Bavaria just like on a picture postcard: majestic mountain tops, deep blue sparkling lakes, idyllic alpine pastures with grazing cattle – and lots more! Discover Bavaria’s most beautiful clichés during a week-long walking tour between Bad Tölz and Bayrischzell. Walk casually on marvelous panorama-paths through picturesque mountain scenery, have breaks along the way in pretty little mountain chalets and enjoy a typical snack (‚Brotzeit’) and a cool big glass of beer. The lakes Tegernsee and Schliersee invite you to a swim, a dip into the refreshing waters of mountain lakes is always welcome on a hot summer’s day. Mountains, lakes and a Bavarian ‚Brotzeit’-snack – is there anything better than that?

Itinerary at a glance

Hiking and swimming go hand in hand in Bavaria thanks to the many lakes. A summer luge run and climbing forest await you at the Oedberg, and you can take the cable car to the Wendelstein. Enjoy the Bavarian cuisine with Kasspatzn (cheese pasta).

Hotel (example): Hotel Askania

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): Hotel 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): Boutique Hotel 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.

Hiking for families
Travel story: Hiking tour Bavaria for families
After our first hiking experiences with our son in the Salzkammergut last year, it was clear to us from the outset: This season it must again be a hiking tour for families from Eurohike! You do not want to miss such beautiful experiences and preferably experience them again and again. Since we didn't want to travel too far and still planned to increase our hiking demands a bit - our son is now already three and a half years old and wants to be challenged. There our dearest neighboring country with the Free State of Bavaria comes to us exactly right. We lace up the hiking boots and off we go on the hiking tour Bavaria for families!
