i did the hike from tegernsee to schliersee years ago. it was one of my best hiking experience. always go back to tegernsee. it is my second fav. after königsee. allgäu in my opinion is still the best bavarian alps region. Town of Oberstdorf is such a gem.

Been living in munich all my life, but I did not know about Eisenberg. Thanks for recommending.

Excellent recommendations! Great vid.

Love your videos. I found your channel a short while ago, but have just started to see how good they are. Danke schön!

Another fantastic video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them. We did a few of your recommendations from the Munich Food Tour when we were in Munich last December, and they were fantastic. Now we are looking forward to some of the hikes you have done, and we'll be back out in August. Maybe a video of your favorite mountain huts would help us figure out which one to go to!

What a great list, can't wait to visit some of these places soon.

Wow buddy , I'm so glad I came across your channel. I will be hitting some of these places next year when my buddies and I do our biking and hiking trip to Germany and Austria. Thanks for putting this video together. All the best

This is your best film. Thanks!!!

What a great video! I've been to many of those sites, but am missing one or two. Looking forward to where you go next!

Great video and really useful for helping us plan our 2024 holiday.

These day trips look amazing! I thought Madrid has plenty of fun day trips, but it seems like Munich has so many more. I especially love all the mountains 😍 Can't wait to visit!

Another great video! I have a few of these places on my itinerary for September. Do you ever offer guided tours? I'll be in Munich for Oktoberfest and would love a local perspective.

I've been to Tegernsee so many times this year by using the 9 Euro ticket. I love your channel so much. Greetings from Fürstenfeldbruck (located 32 kilometres west of Munich).

My wife and I are taking our first trip to Germany in a few days, concluding in Munich next week. This is a rad video with some great recommendations on locations that are off the beaten path. Stay awesome. Prost!

Were did a day trip to do the Zugspitz and it was closed! One of the two days of the year it's closed for maintenance! I was gutted, it was the number one on my list. The tourist office suggested we take the bus to the Wank resort and ride the gondola to the top of the mountain there. It was a wonderful runner up prize! Beautiful views in all directions and a nice beer hall on the very top for lunch. We ended up going to where the locals go to camp and to hike and it was well worth it.

What a great video. We are headed to this area Sept Oct 2023 as part of our 60 trip. Your information is great and will help us greatly

Another excellent video 😊

Guess what, we have planned to do the first 3 items in the video for this week, lucky that I have come across this informatic video.

Fantastische!!! My husband, son(16 years old) and I were just in Munich and Salzburg two weeks ago. We live in Pittsburgh. We are still walking about with gloomy faces, desperately missing Germany and Austria. It was my son’s first time there but we’ve been a few times before. We did not have enough time to do much this trip but hope to get back for Christkindlmarkt!! I’m sad we did not get out to the Lake District this time. LOVE your videos! Now we have so many places to see! Vielen Dank!!!

Love your videos!! Would you ever consider filming a guide for munich in winter??

Great Vid!... I must admit, the Weltenburger Dunkel is the best tasting beer out there. As an Aussie living in Germany, I was fascinated by the fact that they were making beer at the Klosterbrauerei more than 700 years before the British landed in Oz.

Solid 6! I still haven’t been to the lakes or the castle ruins (I went to reutte though) I’ve been to mittenwald a few times and my favorite was going during fasching I think it’s the last weekend in February. The customs and costumes are amazing and it’s really relaxed and informal too

Very helpful video thanks

Great recommendations! Hohenfreyberg took over 200 years to build, then only 60 years after it was finished, it burned down and they never rebuilt it! Imagine spending 200 years building something then only 2 generations later it's all gone! 😮

Hey, thanks for this video! I just came back from a trip in Bavaria. I saw your video and I decided to do your suggestions of Walchensee and Eisenberg ruins. They were both awesome! And I have some suggestions to add to anyone who thinks about doing them and likes to hike. So When I did Eisenberg and Hohenfreyberg ruins, I started the day quite early (started the hike at around 9:30), so I finished with the ruins by 12. After lunch I hiked to lake Weissensee (very easy to navigate, there are signs everywhere and you can get a map at Eisenberg tourist information). It's around 1 and a half hours hike, and it's very well worth it. After that I hiked for around 2 hours more through lakes Alatsee, Obersee and Mittersee and the waterfall of the river Lech back to Fussen. It wasn't an easy day, but if you like hiking, see ruins, great views and great lakes, it's a very recommended day in my opinion. About Walchensee, if you are in good shape I highly recommend climbing up that mountain! The trail is not easy, but it's very rewarding and fun. After I finished the hike I ate at the restaurant on the top and took the cable car down, Then I took a bus to Klais and hiked around lakes Barmsee, Grubsee and Wagenbruchsee (yes I really like lakes), it is also very much worth it in my opinion, especially Wagenbruchsee, I think it was my favourite place in Bavaria. Have fun!

uhh have a giid day very nice camera beautiful place that you sharing stay safe god bless

Im doing a trip to Munich in July and am super stoked! it will also be my first trip to Europe. Incredible video! it has only made the wait more unbearable

Going Munich in September first time can’t wait but I am already overwhelmed by all these day trips , only have one week and can’t decide which day trips to take !

Nice videos and with a good taste as well and with some gems as well. I wonder if I have a gem for you still.. say, have you been to Kloster Reuthberg and Kirchsee? They have their own beer and the lake is stunning as well..

Best place on planet earth!

Many blessings to you, love your channel. I’m looking forward to seeing you this September John Durrant

I haven’t been to many from Munich but would say Berschesgaden (sp?) was fantastic, which would include Konigsee and the Eagles Nest.

I live near Schliersee, and I much prefer it to Tegernsee. It is smaller, calmer, and the scenery is reminiscent of a fjord. You can cycle around it in an hour's time and stop at the Rixner Alm on the western lakeside for refreshments. There are many places to take a dip. I love it most when the sun is setting. If someone comes past SUP-paddling, I feel removed to the Wild West with an Indian paddling by. All in all Schliersee is less touristy and more laid back than Tegernsee.

Germany is so beautiful

I love Germany!

Very nice Boss... ❤️🌹👌

Great video! I am planning a trip to Lake Walchensee in early mid September. Do you know if that is a good period weather-wise? Also what are the best spots where to stay, do you recommend near Kolchen or Walchensee? This is to know when to start the hiking trail to the top of the mountain.

Servus. I enjoy your videos. They are well conceived, shot and edited. You and your wife are engaging and likable. But in the spirit of constructive criticism, you are more and more veering into a narrative style that seems breathlessly overwrought. Slow down and calm down; show more and "tell" less. Or at least with less scripted and practiced excitement. You are truly a talented writer and narrator but you are leaning into that talent too obviously and heavily. Less will be more.

I absolutely love that edelweiss hat you’re wearing. Where did you find that? I’d love to get one.

I've been to so many of these when I was growing up in München although some are additions since that time period. Going back to Germany for the first in 31 years this May with my wife and kid, I took them to some of my favorite places (which closely correspond to some of your videos). Also, thanks for the strawberry picking video, we just had to do that, and it was a blast (and very yummy). Question: why haven't you done more videos in the immediate area around München? For instance, Starnbergersee or Ebersberger wildpark. May I recommend the hike between Starnberger see and the Ammersee that takes you to Klöster Andechs (really good beer and food).

Would avoid Tegernsee and Schliersee on sunny weekends if you don't like crowds. Also the regional trains on that line (BRB) often have outages and disturbances so just prepare yourself.

Planning our family trip to Munich in June solely based on your suggestions..thank you. What brand backpack is that you use?

🤩🤩💯

The Geisterklamm is actually in Austria.

Vielen Dank💘💘💘

A PS… twenty years ago we went to St.Leonhardt, just outside of Salzburg. We took a cable car all the way up the mountain and had Kaiser Karl Beer…The sleeping man in the mountain. We still talk about it! It was incredible! We did not have time to go up again on our quick visit two weeks ago, although we passed St.Leonhardt in the bus on our way to Berchtesgaden. We are here all melancholy, wishing we could just go straight back.

Nice, well-informed selection. I am from Munich and I knew the first five, quite well actually, but not number six. Some additional recommendations: Regensburg, Landshut, Scheyarn, Dachauer Land (Altomuenster, Markt Indersdorf), Diessen/Ammersee, Spitzingsee, Wasserburg, and my personal favorite: Kloster Seeon.

Nice list. But was never too fond of Tegernsee. Way too many houses are surrounding the lake and the mountains are quite low. I am more of an Eibsee, Ferchensee or Königssee type of guy. Also Zugspitze and Nebelhorn (crazy views of the high Alps) would probably be on my list.

I'm soooo torn.... Heading to Munich next summer. I was there roughly 20 years ago and have wanted to return ever since. Now I'll get to show my wife and kids. We're staying for 3 nights and I'm so torn between Weltenburg Abbey, Tegernsee, Mittenwald, Partnachlamm or Neuschwanstein for a little hiking and some views for a day trip. My kids are 11 and 13 and they've done some hiking before but nothing too crazy. I want everyone to get a good authentic experience for 1 day. What say you?

Can KZfaq tell us, WhatsApp the name of the cafe at tegernsee with that gratis cake and near Mittenwald with 5hat gratis kassüätzle?

hii! is Tegernsee cafes open in sunday? or do u have other rec?

What is the best time of year to go here that weather is still pleasant but not as crowded ?

What month of the year was this filmed?

To really appreciate these places one should spend a night in these places if not more? You lose a lot of time traveling from Munich somewhat especially if you are using the after 9 AM DB train Bavaria Pass. All good just the same 😊

6. Salzburg > 5. Tegernsee > 4. Mittenwald > 3. Walchensee > 2. Weltenburg > 1. Eisenberg und Hohenfreyberg

warum ist da Salzburg. (Nicht Deutschland)

It was just a beer advert!

You should have added those video links in the description box, had to search a lot for those and its frustrating. Great content, but only not subscribing because of this.

i adored your channel. still i think you do a great job. but you should not rip us off. this is so awful. ben, we love you being this person, but i hate you deeply to do this. it is no choice to answer, now.
