Walking from valley to valley along former salt trails, alpine pastures and mountain passes below high rocky summits, you will discover beautiful valleys, waterfalls, gorges and rivers. En route there will be opportunities to view the numerous attractions of the region including the historic Austrian village of Golling; Hohenwerfen Castle, backdrop of many WWII films; and Mt Jenner with its stunning views of Lake Konigssee and the Bavarian Alps. Evenings are spent in superb 3 star mountain hotels where you can enjoy hearty German cuisine and relax with a Bavarian beer or two.
