Self-guided Walking Tour from Garmisch to Meran

Discover the diversity of the three Alpine countries Bavaria, Tyrol and South Tyrol! Quaint alps and remote mountain huts, roaring ravines and impressive high mountain valleys await to be discovered along historic routes. Again and again traditional Bavarian beergardens, Tyrolean specialities and South Tyrolean delicacies invite to a comfortable break. Amidst the highest mountains of the Alps you eventually reach Merano where your most diverse impressions of your hiking holiday across the Alpine region merge in its unique entirety. A marvellous tour to get to know the most beautiful facets of the Alps!

Highlights:

• The sunken church of Lake Resia: The Lake Resia in Vinschgau is six kilometres long. It sits in the mountain scenery of the quaint Langtauferer Valley. And in the middle of the crystal-clear water you will find a sunken church tower. It’s worth a visit to find out about the tower in the lake!
• The Sissi city of Merano: A magical little spa town that was once considered a luxury resort. The reason: Austrian Empress Sisi paid a visit to the pretty city in 1870.
• Three countries in one tour: From Germany to Austria and Italy, you are travelling through three countries, and each is more impressive than the last.
