The Bavarian Alps are considered the most beautiful part of Germany. You will find mostly limestone mountains, the most famous and most visited of which are Wetterstein with the highest mountain Zugspitze or Berchtesgaden Alps with the most famous lake Königsee. You will also find perhaps the most beautiful castle in Europe, Neuschwanstein. Let's see what you definitely visit here

A trip to the most fabulous castle in the world.

The Zugspitze is Germany's highest mountain right on the Austrian border above the town of Garmisch Partenkirchen, and its ascent can be combined into a magnificent two (and a quarter) day circuit with an elevation gain of 2,300 meters with a light ferrata and a small glacier. continue reading

3.
Watzmann massif crossing

Behind the King of the Berchtesgaden Alps

Rating:
| Altitude: 2 713 m / 8 901 ft

The ghostly Watzmann, a gloomy mountain hovering over Berchtesgaden. The daring ridge leads over three rock peaks and ends at the third highest and at the same time most beautiful peak of the German Alps. In good weather, it is a completely unique experience, great views of the sharp ridge, the Alps and the blue lake Königsee deep down between the rocks. The ridge via ferrata achieves only the demands of A / B and B, but its considerable length and guidance directly along a narrow rocky and airy ridge makes it a literally royal hike, worthy of respect. continue reading
