About
Beer Hiking Bavaria author Rich Carbonara takes you into the Bavarian foothills as you travel to one of the most beloved lakes in the region, the Tegernsee. Choose between climbing the Riederstein and the easier but still spectacular highline trail. Both afford great views of lovely lake.
The Riederstien hike is 11 km or a little less than 7 miles but picks up 550 m or about 1800 feet. On clear days, you'll see the Alps in the distance. The route passes through both forest and open areas with some steep sections. Back at the Tegernsee, you can enjoy the lake and we'll visit the Tegernsee Bräustüberl to sample their great traditional Bavarian food and beer. It's an atmospheric place to celebrate your achievement.
The highline trail is 9km or around 6 miles and picks up 130m or 450 feet. This is still a true hike with some hills and great views.
Included
Transportation to and from Munich via public transportation and guided hiking to the Riederstein. The first beer is on me.

What to Expect
-In Munich, the meeting point is inside the Main Train station (HBF) in front of the Yorma convenience store on the north side of the station at 9:00. Please be there promptly as we’ll need to catch a train to our starting point.
-Tours go rain or shine and since these are hiking tours, we’ll be outside most of the day. Please bring a small pack to carry the essentials: rain jacket, extra layer, filled water bottle and a temperature appropriate hat. In cooler months, bring something warm just in case the temperature drops. Please wear comfortable weather appropriate walking shoes.
-Please bring enough cash for beer and food as a lunch stop at the brewery will take up the middle of the trip.
