FAQs: Hiking in Bavaria
What should I know about Hiking Bavaria?
The landlocked state of Bavaria that lies in the south west covers roughly a fifth of the total area of the country. The region has a deep and rich history connected to the mountains, which play an important part of everyday life. The rugged and rough landscapes of Bavaria offer pristine pistes and breathtaking routes for outdoor adventures, especially hiking.
Why should I choose Bavaria for my Hiking adventure?
Classic alpine terrain
The Bavarian mountains of south Germany have long been a world-class destination for all types of outdoor sports, particularly hiking. Whether it’s hiking Zugspitze (2,962 m), the highest in the country, or a hut-to-hut hike around Mount Watzmann, or touring around the iconic Newschwanstein Castle that soars from the plains, the wild German landscapes form a dramatic background to classic climbs.
**Variety of adventures **
The rough and rugged mountains and natural walls of Bavaria offer some spectacular and challenging hiking terrain. Those seeking fresh climbs and difficult terrain, join a 4-day tour of the Gottesacker plateau, a karst landscape with pockets of caves and rare wildlife. Yet if you’re a newcomer to hiking, then discover the Meran Alps that are much less technical that other areas, yet retain spectacular scenery.

Explore-Share took advantage of my inexperience. I had asked for a beginner level trip, instead, they recommended me a rather advanced trip. Neither Explore-Share nor the guide were forthcoming with information until the very last moment. The guide sold my participation to another outfit about a week before the trip. Neither Explore-Share neither the guide are trustworthy and can be relied upon in making arrangements.

Rudi is an experienced mountaineer with a great deal of knowledge about the area and trails available. He coordinated closely with me to determine my skill level and objective for the hike. It was an absolutely terrific day.
