The most beautiful destinations in Bavaria

Zugspitze: HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN GERMANY

The Zugspitze, a summit of superlatives, offers a unique combination of breathtaking nature and technical masterpiece. Here, where heaven and earth meet at an altitude of over 2,962 metres, a panorama opens up that is second to none. The pure air and the snow-covered peaks of the Bavarian Alps provide a backdrop that radiates majesty and tranquillity. You can reach the valley stations by bus, from where modern cable cars will take you safely and comfortably to the highest point in Germany.

From the Zugspitze, you have an unrivalled view of over 400 Alpine peaks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. It is a place where the forces of nature can be felt and time seems to stand still. At Panorama 2962, the highest summit restaurant in Germany, you can savour culinary delights while marvelling at the impressive Alpine panorama. The mountain world can be safely explored on the well-developed paths and platforms. The Zugspitze is not only a paradise for skiers and snowboarders in winter, but also for hikers and nature lovers in the warmer months. Up here, above the worries of everyday life, you can enjoy the freedom and tranquillity of the mountains to the full.

NEUSCHWANSTEIN & LINDERHOF: ROYAL CASTLES

Neuschwanstein and Linderhof, the magnificent Bavarian royal castles, epitomise fairytale elegance and historical significance. Neuschwanstein, known worldwide as the inspiration for Disneyland Castle, sits majestically on a rocky outcrop and offers a spectacular view of the Alpine valleys. Inside, visitors can expect a splendour of magnificent halls and frescoes depicting medieval legends. Linderhof, the smallest of the palaces built by King Ludwig II, impresses with lavish rococo interiors and one of the most beautiful parks in Europe, including an artificial lake and a spectacular fountain.

These architectural masterpieces offer deep insights into the extravagant life and unfulfilled dreams of King Ludwig II and are an unforgettable experience for lovers of history, art and culture. A visit to these palaces provides a fascinating journey through 19th century Bavarian history and art, surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Alps.

KÖNIGSSEE & SALT MINE: IN THE MOUNTAINS

Lake Königssee, a jewel in the Bavarian Alps, and the historic Berchtesgaden salt mine offer a unique combination of natural beauty and industrial history. The Königssee, known for its clear, emerald-green water, is surrounded by steep rock faces that form an impressive backdrop. A boat trip on the lake, past the famous pilgrimage church of St Bartholomä, is an unforgettable experience that emphasises the tranquillity and unspoilt nature of this region. Just a few kilometres away, the Berchtesgaden salt mine offers fascinating insights into salt mining, one of the oldest industries in the region, dating back to prehistoric times.

This combination of natural and cultural exploration makes the day trip to Königssee and the salt mine particularly rich. Visitors can enjoy the calming effect of the alpine landscape while gaining a deep understanding of the historical significance of salt mining in Bavaria. A trip here promises not only picture-perfect photo opportunities, but also an enriching experience that appeals to both the senses and the mind.

ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER & HARBURG: medieval towns

Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Harburg Castle offer a fascinating mix of medieval charm and historic fortress architecture. Rothenburg, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Germany, captivates visitors with its picturesque, cobbled streets and colourful half-timbered houses. A stroll through the town is like travelling back in time to 16th century Germany, with every corner and every building telling its own story. Not far away is the imposing Harburg Castle, one of the oldest preserved castles in southern Germany, which towers majestically over the Wörnitz valley.

This combination of the romantic town and the mighty castle offers a deep immersion into German culture and history. While Rothenburg ob der Tauber reflects the flair and culture of the Middle Ages, Harburg Castle offers insights into the feudal power structures and defence architecture of the past. A day trip to these places is not only a visual delight, but also an educational experience that transports visitors into the rich history of Bavaria and Germany.

Berchtesgadener Land & EaglE'S Nest:

PURE HISTORY

The Berchtesgadener Land, a region of incredible natural beauty and historical significance, offers a breathtaking backdrop for an unforgettable day trip. With its idyllic mountain lakes, steep peaks and deep forests, this area offers a perfect blend of relaxation and nature experience. Eagle's Nest, once a place of power and now a place of remembrance, offers visitors the opportunity to come to terms with an important chapter in German history while enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding alpine landscape.

The charming combination of the picturesque Berchtesgadener Land and the historically significant Eagle's Nest creates a versatile excursion destination. While Berchtesgadener Land, with its unspoilt paths and spectacular views, invites you to hike and linger, Eagle's Nest at Obersalzberg provides a profound historical understanding through its documentation centre. A trip to this region is an opportunity both to discover the beauty of the Bavarian Alps and to come to terms with contemporary history.

CITY OF SALZBURG: CITY AND MOUNTAIN IDYLL

Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, is one of Austria's cities with a special charm. Here, cultural history is combined with the breathtaking alpine backdrop of the Austrian Alps. The historic old town, which is proudly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, invites you to take a romantic stroll along its cobbled streets. Every building here tells its own story, shaped by centuries.

The imposing Hohensalzburg Fortress, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, watches over the rooftops of the city. The sight of it is particularly magical when dusk bathes the fortress walls in soft light. Inside, splendid royal rooms and historical museums bring you closer to the Middle Ages. The Getreidegasse, Salzburg's famous shopping street, is lined with charming boutiques and traditional shops. Here, under the lovingly decorated guild signs, you will find Mozart's birthplace, which is now a museum. The rooms where the musical genius spent his childhood offer an intimate insight into his life and work.
