A 'Best of Bavaria' bike ride, taking in river bends
and dense forests, ragged limestone cliffs and castle-topped villages.
Bavaria and the Black Forest live up to their reputations as splendid outdoor playgrounds.
There's plenty to do year-round, with each season offering its own special delights, be it
hiking among spring wildflowers, swimming in an Alpine lake warmed by the summer sun,
biking among a kaleidoscope of autumn foliage or celebrating winter by skiing through
deep powder.
Hiking & Mountaineering
Der Weg ist das Ziel
(the journey is the reward) could be the perfect strapline for Bavaria
and the Black Forest. No matter whether you want to peak-bag in the Alps, stroll gently
among fragrant pines with the kids or embark on multiday treks over hill and forested dale,
this region is brilliant for exploring on foot.
