10 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
This is more of a compilation of day trips than an actual hiking trip report. We ("the family") spent a couple weeks hitting high spots in Bavaria with several cross border forays into Austria. The Bavarian alps remind me a lot of the north cascades while the Austrian alps go to the next level altogether. I did find it interesting that most hiking signs are marked in time to next destination instead of distance. And, of course, there seems to be a "Biergarten" waiting for you everywhere you go and sometimes along the way as well... http://www.ckemp.com/zugspitze/ I didn't have time to hike the Zugspitze -- or any other longer route but I plan to come back for a "Tiroler" hiking trip in the not too distant future.
