6 easy hikes to walk off your Oktoberfest hangover
The Oktoberfest is upon us. As of 12 o’clock yesterday, the largest beer festival in the world is in full swing. It’s first hungover victims are struggling through the day. Here are six hikes close to Munich for anyone brave enough to undergo such radical hangover therapy.
9 easy hikes perfect for a day trip from Munich to the Alps
If you are visiting Munich and really want to get a feel for the city, you have to leave it for a trip to the Alps. Practically everyone in Munich owns a pair of hiking boots and going hiking in the nearby Alps is part and parcel of what it means to live in Munich. […]
Along the Leitzach
As our trip to the Längentalalm with Otto on our back proved to be a success, we were keen to use what remained of the hiking season. Just two weeks later, we were off to Fischbachau for a hike along the Leitzach.
A short hike to Maisalm
The weather in Munich has been stunning for the last few weeks, so it was about time last Sunday that we took the baby carrier out of storage and into the mountains.
An autumn hike between Bad Tölz and Lenggries
Somewhere between Bad Tölz and Lenggries there is a little charming farm hiding at the foot of the Probstenwand – the Hintere Längentalalm. In September when Otto could sit up on his own, we made it the destination of our first hike with a child carrier.
Hiking with a baby and a pram at the Tegernsee
In August last year we were finally off on our second hiking trip with baby Otto. This time we decided for another classic Munich hiking destination – the Tegernsee. The route was short and easy for anyone without a pram and a bit of a hard work for those pushing one. However, it was definitely […]
Hiking with a baby at Spitzingsee
At the beginning of April, on my birthday, we decided to do something special and give hiking with a pram a go. We packed all the usual supplies, plus nappies, puree, several sets of spare clothes and various blankets, and off we were headed for the train (and bus) to Spitzingsee.
My favourite walk in Munich
My favourite walk in Munich: a circular stroll along the river Isar from Wittlesbacher bridge to Flaucher and back.
Good things come to those who wait: snowshoeing in Kleinwalsertal
Planning my first self-guided snowshoeing trip took quite some time. There were at least a dozen trips in the running. Juggling route planning, avalanche risk assessment and snow conditions wasn’t straight forward. At the last minute we decided to go to Kleinwalsertal. Although the weather was grim to start with, going to Kleinwalsertal paid off […]
Through Hobbit land and the Misty Mountains to the Höllentalangerhütte.
In October I went on a flurry of hikes in an attempt to compensate for the hiking I missed in the summer. The one hike a week rhythm made it difficult to keep up with on the blog though. I’ve only now managed to write-up the first hike in Garmisch. We walked up through a […]
