We went on the 3 day hike starting from Bad Wiessee and ending in Bayrischzell. The hike partitioning was perfect in our mind since it combined different scenery every day and the order was perfect. The chosen accommodations were perfect with very friendly owners and excellent breakfast which was a great start for every day. The location was also perfectly located near the bus stops were needed. The welcome package and organization were very good and we actually required very little communication with the team during our vacation. We will certainly come back again next year!

Wunderschön!
Schöne Touren, fantastische Ausblicke, sehr nette und angenehme Unterkünfte, rundum wunderschön! Lediglich das Ersatzhotel, da alle Eurofun-Vertragshotels ausgebucht waren, ließ sehr zu wünschen übrig.

Wunderschöner Kurzurlaub
Eine gelungene Auszeit vom Alltag. Wir konnten in den vier Tagen in den wunderschönen bayerischen Alpen total abschalten und Kraft tanken. Die Berge, die Seen und die bayerische Küche haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Unser Höhepunkt war der Tegernsee.
