lakes, fairy-tale castles, churches and villages waiting to be enjoued and explored after a walk in the mountains or on "rest" days.
Fifty-seven excellent walks are described by the authors, covering the Allgau, Ammergau, Wetterstein, Tegernsee, Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden alps. Each area has its own attractive centres such as Oberammergaum, Garmish-Partenkirchen and Bad reichenhall. Walks vary from strolls of a few miles to 3 or 4- day outing with alpine hut stopovers and many are circular. They can be confidently undertaken by anyone who is reasonably fit.
The delights of the Bavarina scenerey added to a temperate climate, a good choice of accommodation and eating places, and good transport access make for an excellent holiday destination.
