About the Book

A guidebook describing the Bavarian Alps, which lie along the German-Austrian border in a thin sliver of land roughly 300km long, containing some of the most spectacular walking and beautiful scenery that Germany has to offer. Crammed into this area is some of the most spectacular walking and beautiful scenery that Germany has to offer. The region is also home to picturesque villages and towns, and to King Ludwig's world-famous fairy-tale castles. Reasonable prices and an excellent tourist infrastructure make the Bavarian Alps the perfect destination for an easy-to-organise and affordable walking holiday. The guide contains 85 walks, including graded mountain routes, gentler valley walks and two multi-day tours, arranged by region from west to east. Practical information on transport, accommodation and the like is also provided to help you plan your holiday.
