Bavarian & Salzburg Alps
1 Review by TourRadar travelers“Everything went smoothly and no issues.”

- Königssee & Berchtesgaden National Park: Steeply rising rock walls and a nature reserve straight out of a picture book fill the eyes. If you look closely, you might catch a glimpse of a chamois or a shy marmot.
- Alpine huts with homemade delicacies: A landscape with scenery as romantic as the famous Austrian ‘Heimatfilms’. Sitting right in the middle of it are numerous huts. Take a break and enjoy the hearty creations of the landlords.
- Torrener Joch & Jenner: Expect a long climb to the border crossing and on to the Jenner summit. And at Bluntautal, you will be rewarded with unique alpine landscape and rugged rock formations.

- Mountain idyll on the Königssee with a view of the Watzmann: It is a gem among the lakes - equally beautiful and also a little mysterious. Due to its location, it is best explored by boat. The world-famous St. Bartholomä with its unmistakable pilgrimage church in Bavaria is not only a great photo opportunity, but also a place to stop for refreshments and a cultural highlight .
- Berchtesgaden National Park: “Let nature be nature” – that is the motto of the 210 km2 national park around the Watzmann. You notice it here with every breath and with all your senses!
- Romantic and panoramic alpine hikes : What could be better than lacing up your hiking boots after a good breakfast and setting off? Nothing – especially when the stages offer so many great views.

- World Heritage Site Hallstatt: It’s not only the picturesque village built into the mountains that’s worth a visit. Lake Hallstatt is also home to the oldest salt mine in the world!

- Herreninsel and Fraueninsel on the Chiemsee: So different and yet somehow connected. Each of the islands has its very own history. While a castle sits enthroned on Herrenchiemsee, the Benedictine nuns ran a convent on Frauenchiemsee.
- Impressive Alpine panorama: Wherever you cast your gaze, the mountains provide simply perfect natural scenery on this tour. There's something calming and exhilarating about admiring the sunset over the mountains in the evening after completing a stage.
- The Watzmann above the Königssee: It is certainly one of the most beautiful lakes in Germany. Its backdrop makes it something very special. Visit the small church of St. Bartholomä, hike to the Obersee and take a trip by electric boat.
