Hiking in the Alpine foothills

LAKES, MOUNTAINS, HILLS AND ALMS – HIKING HIGHLIGHTS IN THE FOOTHILLS

In general, the foothills of the Alps have the ideal conditions for enchanting hikes through various territories and regions. From a geological standpoint, the large area is a sea basin in the Alps, which has been filled with layers of clay, sand and boulders several thousand metres high. Countless lakes emerged from the glaciers of the Ice Age.

Swimming with scenic attractions

It is precisely this long-gone era that we owe for the many wonderful bathing spots on all our hiking tours through the Alpine foothills. In addition, many cosy boat trips enrich the hiking programme. These rides have always been a welcome respite and of course there is also much to admire while sailing. As well as varied scenic attractions, you can look forward to many cultural attractions while hiking. Historical monuments, museums and monasteries scatter the country and adorn the walking routes. In addition, castles, palaces and ruins decorate the landscape. This results in beautiful photo opportunities.

Making a break with excellent view at the river Altmühl

Altmühltal-Panorama-Path

Many rivers cross the Alpine foothills, including the Altmühltal. The slowest river in Bavaria accompanies you on your wonderful hiking trip on the Altmühltal-Panorama-Path. Hike along the panoramic path through pristine nature with gentle river valleys and views of rugged dolomite rocks. Culturally, everyone in this region gets their money’s worth. Numerous historical buildings and historical treasures still bear witness to the time of the Celts and Romans.

Black Forest – Lake Constance

On the way from Titisee to Radolfzell many scenic features await you. Right at the beginning you can look forward to impressive views of the Titisee and the peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps.

This 8-day hiking trip begins at the southern end of the Wutach Gorge. In this region, the Black Forest shows off its wild and rough side and impresses with promising heights and mysterious depths.
