Hiking in the Bavarian Alps
Lots of people go hiking in Bavaria. We were surprised by how many people were walking up and down the mountains. If the weather is nice, the area is great for hiking. There are so many nice trails it is hard to decide where to go. Almost all of them have some Alm on the way ( with a restaurant, so you can have a beer....). Hiking in the Alps is very different from hiking in a National Park in the U.S. for example. There are so many more people hiking in the Alps. In the U.S. , you can hike in some areas and never see a single other person for miles, here, you run into someone frequently it seemed like, whereever you hike. In a way that is comforting, since you are never away from "civilization", in a way it's sort of annoying, since you can't get away from civilization. But, overall it was enjoyable.
