Germany

Germany offers some of the most scenic hiking and biking in Europe, from the dramatic peaks of the Bavarian Alps to fairy-tale forests, river valleys and vineyard-covered hillsides.

Follow the King Ludwig Way to Neuschwanstein Castle, hike the Salt Trail through the Bavarian Alps, or explore the Black Forest. Walk the Rheinsteig through the Romantic Rhine, or cycle the Moselle through Germany's most famous wine region. Many of our trips continue into neighboring countries, from the Lake Constance Cycle Path and the Elbe Cycle Path between Prague and Dresden to the E5 Alpine Crossing.

We've specialized in self-guided hiking and bike trips in Germany since 2008, with hand-picked small hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses, luggage transfers on most trips, navigation in our app and 24/7 support.
