This immense forested mountain range has some of the most enchanting features of Europe. It is located in the southwest of the country, bordered by the Rhine Valley and sprawling with rivers and lakes. Whether on a hike through its winding and captivating trails or rock climbing to the top of gneiss and sandstone towers, there is an adventure for everyone.

Snowshoeing in Oberstdorf!

That’s right, you can explore the Bavarian countryside in the snow! This valley-rich destination is a blast to explore in the winter via snowshoes. Combined with nature discovery tours and other activities can enhance your trip and give you an ultimate German adventure. Or you can take advantage of the spas and culture of southern Germany. The options are endless.

Climb Mountains Within Reason!

Mountain adventure has helped define Germany over the centuries. Its borders have been, in part, shaped by geographic and geologic boundaries, many of which have played a significant role throughout the years. The moderate size of its objectives, from Watzmann and Hochwanner to the more manageable Kreuzspitze, you can become a mountaineer on intermediate peaks before taking your talents to Mont Blanc.
