Many of these camps are owned and operated by the Bureau of Land Management. Be sure to always practice Leave No Trace when camping in a free campground, as they often don’t have the level of maintenance supplied by paid campsites.

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.

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!

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!
