Beer Hiking Bavaria author Rich Carbonara takes you into the Bavarian countryside, where you'll walk to and around the monastery in Reutberg, finishing up at one of the best views of any Biergarten in Bavaria. In cooler months or wet weather, there's a cozy brewpub inside.
The hike is 15 km or a little more than 9 miles. On clear days, you'll see the Alps in the distance. The route passes through both forest and open areas before arriving at the Biergarten. Kloster Reutberg brews some of the tastiest beers in the region and their Biergarten is renowned for its views and great food.
Note there is 160m/525 ft ascent & descent over the course of the hike.
Public transportation to and from Munich via public transportation and guided hiking. First beer is on me.
