Walking in Southern Bavaria

4.0(5 reviews)

Known for its world-famous Passion Plays, performed every ten years, it is impossibly picturesque; its houses are decorated with elaborate paintings known as Luftmalerei and prettily carved wooden balconies overflow with geraniums. Here, the locals embrace their rich history, where traditional Bavarian dress is often worn in recognition of their heritage and the custom of Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and a generously sized portion of cake) is still an afternoon ritual. The village is also an absolute Mecca for the walking enthusiast. From exhilarating mountain hikes with amazing views all the way to the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain, to relaxed strolls through lush green valleys and wetland nature reserves, Oberammergau's wealth of well-signed paths and easy-to-follow trails make it a great choice for wonderfully varied walking. We provide a choice of both level 1 and level 2 walks for all days, using the highly efficient local public transport system so you can explore further afield - all guests receive a Guest Card that gives free transport on certain local buses and trains. You also have the mountain lifts to take the sting out of more challenging ascents.

We saw places Ive only seen on /TV, our Director had a full itinerary each day, It was never a boring trip, and just when we thought we saw it all, another beautiful scenery appears. Our bus driver Chris was the best we"ve ever had, so professional and he could back-up that big bus like he was driving a Yugo... Rob knows so much about the countries we visited, I felt I was in a history class, he was very informative.

It's a great tour which covers all the main cities of Germany so it gives you a great overview of the country - just what the name of the tour suggests. We had a great tour guide, Larae, and a wonderful bus driver, Attila. The coach was very comfortable as were the hotels we stayed at. The dinners organized were a wonderful experience and overall there wasn't anything else we could have asked for.

Travel Tips for Germany Adventure Tour

Make use of Germany’s excellent public transport, from buses to trains and trams.
Plan your travel accordingly. Most shops, restaurants and businesses in Germany are closed on Sundays.
Pack sensibly for your Germany adventure tour. In summer, Germany can be very warm, but the southern mountains can still see snow. In winter, thick blankets of snow are common so bring hiking shoes and thermals.
Decide carefully when to plan your Germany trip. While winter offers magical Christmas markets and snow sports, summer provides the best hiking and sightseeing conditions.
