Bavarian Alps Alpine and Cabin Hikes

<p>As a rewarding excursion destination or a welcome rest stop after a summit tour - a comfy stop-off is part of a hike in the Bavarian Alps. Alpine pastures and mountain huts are places for connoisseurs, the right place to forget the time and unwind: a sun-warmed hut wall, a splashing fountain, the ringing of cowbells and the first chilly sip after a strenuous ascent ... Furthermore, if a hearty snack is served - especially with your own alpine products - the hiking pleasure is perfect.</p> <p>In the 3rd, updated edition of the Rother hiking book, Franziska Baumann presents 50 routes to beautifully situated alpine pastures and huts in the Ammergau Alps, the Bavarian Prealps, the Wetterstein, the Karwendel and the Chiemgau Alps. Whether it's a cloud house on a panoramic ridge, a sunny box seat above the valley or an alpine hut on an idyllic meadow: everyone will find their favorite spot. Most of the hikes are fun for the whole family, but there are also more challenging destinations and circular tours. In addition, the reader learns interesting facts about alpine farming, its history and current situation, and receives cultural and culinary information about the selected alpine pastures and huts.</p> <p>Colorful hiking maps on a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000 with the route marked, informative elevation profiles, detailed directions and color photos for each route make it easier for hikers to choose and plan. In the brief information you will find information on the management of the mountain pastures and huts, special features that make the hikes exciting for children, and tips on access routes suitable for baby carriages and possible summit detours.
