Rothaarsteig

The Rothaarsteig in the Sauerland is one of Germany's top hiking routes. If you want to go hiking in Sauerland or in Winterberg, sooner or later you will come across the Rothaarsteig trail. In this blog post, you will read about the Rothaarsteig route, the stages, and accommodations along the route, and you will find a map and different options for a package. Los geht's! The main route of the Rothaarsteig runs from Brilon in North Rhine-Westphalia, mainly southwards over the Kahler Asten to Dillenburg in Hesse. The Rothaarsteig is 155 kilometers long and can be walked in 8 stages. Together with the Eifelsteig, Malerweg, Moselsteig, and Rheinsteig, the Rothaarsteig is one of Germany's most popular hiking trails.

If you're planning a hut-to-hut hiking adventure, the Bavarian Alps offer some of the most scenic and unforgettable routes in Europe. At Bookatrekking.com, we have curated a selection of self-guided tours that will lead you through some of the most iconic landscapes in this region. Whether you're aiming for an exhilarating summit or a serene walk through lush valleys, the Bavarian Alps provide something for every type of adventurer. Here’s a breakdown of three of our favorite hut-to-hut tours:

Deep in the south of Germany the land rises up to what is known as the Bavarian Alps. Rugged mountains covered with evergreen forests and picture perfect mountain pastures make this part of the Alps an outdoor heaven for everybody. One of the absolute highlights of the region is impossible to witness unless you're in it: the spectacular Partnachklamm gorge. For millennia the Partnach river has carved out the mountains south of charming Garmisch Partenkirchen, creating a huge crevasse in the green foothills of the Bavarian Alps. It's a true natural gem, with impressive vertical walls and a thundering river slicing through it. The good news is that you can actually hike through the gorge. The walkway across the Partnachklamm is a great day out, or if you're keen, a perfect start for a 2-day trek that we call the Partnachklamm Explorer's Hike.
