Hiking in Bavaria: Week 2






We had a long weekend this time. I took the liberty to relax for two days when it was supposed to rain a lot (and it did rain a lot). The third day I went for an easy hike through the Bavarian alps to the Tirol mountains in Austria. We went to Erzherzog-Johann-Klause which is very near to the German-Austrian border.

We started from Munich around 8 in the morning and got down at Fischbachau-Neuhaus which is again one of the trains which go to Bayerischell. Then you have to change two buses to reach the start of our hike, Valepp. 

During the entire duration of our hike, we were in a valley almost following the river Vallep. Since we never really reached a peak, the altitude difference was about 300 m. As I said, this was a relatively very easy hike and the landscape was really amazing. It is perfect for those people who are in the initial stages of hiking experience. Though there are quite a few places where one has to be careful with the paths as they are too narrow edging over the valley. There were a few occasions when the trail ran next to the river and it was great to hang out there for a while. 

Erzherzog-Johann-Klause is a nice Bed & Breakfast hut located in the midst of the Tirol alps. We had a nice lunch and loads of time to relax before we headed back to the train station the same way. I think the pictures will tell the rest of the story ;)
