Hiking holiday in the Bavarian Forest

Summer³

Hiking in the national park

Germany’s oldest national park. Almost 25,000 hectares of unspoilt wilderness, over 350km of signposted hiking trails. Footpaths, themed trails, summit hikes, silence. No programme. No staging. Just nature and space.

Biking

The Bavarian Forest: Germany’s number one mountain bike destination. A 200km network of cycle paths with signposted tours at a wide range of difficulty levels. The standout: the Kniaschlewara Trail, at 18km, is Germany’s third-longest mountain bike trail. Plus bike parks across the region. Borrow an e-bike from us – it’s on the house.

Oberzwieselau Golf Park

An 18-hole championship course set within 100 hectares of historic castle grounds in Lindberg. 650 to 750m above sea level, course length 6,000m, par 72. Rushing streams, calm lakes, ancient deciduous trees. Season: May to October.

Deggendorf Golf Club in Rusel

An 18-hole course at the Ruselsattel pass near Deggendorf, par 72. Natural water hazards, undulating fairways at a range of elevations. Around every corner: views of Mt Lusen, Mt Rachel, Mt Arber, and the Danube plain. And in winter: indoor golf at the Rusel Arena.

Convertible drives – from summer 2027
