This five-day itinerary and adventure guide to the most beautiful hikes, spas, trails, lakes, restaurants and museums in Munich is the result of over four years of discovering the city as a lifestyle writer, hours of planning, and my personal favorite places and activities around town and Bavaria.
It includes two days of art, culture and restaurants in Munich, one day of swimming at an alpine lake of your choice, one day of exploring the mountains and one day of relaxation & wellness. I have either adapted these days to a precise schedule or included different choices of hikes and lakes, depending on difficulty and distance.
The guide includes fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite hidden gems & activities.
It lays out instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to Munich and it surroundings with beautiful boutique, design and wellness hotels within the city or in the Bavarian countryside. As well as 16 of my favorite cafés, restaurants and bars, 12 special sights, 7 local boutique stores, 5 hiking destinations, 5 alpine lakes in the area, a lake tour, some beautiful art and a lot of German culture. It also includes direct links to all locations, so you have access to tickets, phone numbers, booking portals and addresses. It's mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone!
While this guide is designed for 5 days and I have written down different transportation options inside and outside the city, it can also easily be adapted to your travel time. Although of course I believe you can never spend too much time in Germany's most beautiful city. 🧚🏻
I have hand-crafted this guide specifically for those (like me) who want to experience Munich's versatility while enjoying direct access to nature as well as local city life. As a part of your purchase, here are a few things you can look forward to:
1. I only create guides based on areas I have not only been to but know well! I lived in Munich for four years and tried out all kinds of fun activities and restaurants/cafés as part of my job. So this guide is a collection of the most beautiful places that I can recommend with a clear heart and that I will visit again the moment I am back in Munich.
2. No matter if you've never climbed a mountain before or already scaled Mount Everest: This guide offers a variety of outdoor activities, so everyone will get their money's worth. What you should bring, however, are swimming gear and hiking boots.
3. I've listed five different options for getting around Munich and the surrounding area. So you don't have to worry that you won't be able to reach your destination without a driver's license.
4. This guide is completely transparent and I have not been paid by anyone to write it. I have mainly written down these experiences because I love Munich and believe that the city often suffers from a simplistic image. That's why I want you to experience the city's nightlife, rich nature and unique subculture the way I did for years as a local.
This guide truly is everything you need to plan your entire trip all in one place. I can't wait to hear & see your adventure! Feel free to send me a DM with your feedback & tag me in your photos! @brggbck
