This year our guests especially enjoyed the great alpine regions of the two countries Austria and Germany on the hiking tour Bavarian & Salzburg Alps, 8 days. The cross-border mountain hiking tour starting from Schönau am Königssee leads along wonderful crossings in the Bavarian and Salzburg Alps, further into idyllic valleys and past traditional alpine pastures.
Our tip: Enjoy the alpine pastures in the midst of a picture-postcard idyll - taste the homemade alpine cheese and other homemade products on one of the traditional alpine huts, always accompanied by wonderful panoramas and distant views.
