249 euros
Hinterstein

Description

Escape the city and spend a magical day at one of Germany’s most stunning natural gems — the crystal-clear turquoise Lake Schrecksee in Bavaria. Our tours take place in small groups of no more than 7 people. We work exclusively with certified hiking guides who speak fluent English and know the region like the back of their hand. Best of all, we’ll pick you up directly from your hotel or accommodation in Munich and drop you off there again in the evening. Everything is taken care of so you can fully enjoy Bavaria’s breathtaking landscape. We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Munich at 6 AM in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. From there, we drive directly to Hinterstein, a journey of around 2 hours. A public bus then takes us in just 8 minutes to the starting point of the hike (the only possible option). Your local expert hiking guide will accompany you throughout the day and safely lead you to the alpine lake, located at 1,813 meters above sea level. Along the way, they’ll also share interesting, funny, and quirky facts about the region. The hike to the lake takes approximately 3–4 hours, with around 3 hours for the return hike. The trail is 12 kilometers long and includes an elevation gain of around 1,000 meters. It’s a challenging hike, but absolutely worth it and manageable for anyone with an average fitness level. Once at the lake, you’ll have 1–2 hours to relax, swim, and soak in the scenery before heading back to the parking lot. At around 6:00 PM at the latest, we’ll begin our journey back to Munich. You’ll arrive around 8:30 PM and be dropped off right at your hotel or accommodation — happy and filled with unforgettable mountain memories.
