1 Tegernsee Bavaria 2017
2 Welcome to Tegernsee Tegernsee is in the Miesbach district of Bavaria in Germany. It is located on the shores of Tegernsee Lake at an elevation of 747m (2,451ft) above sea level. The town has its origins in the abbey, founded in 746, and because of its naturally protected position, it has suffered less from war and hardship than other parts of Bavaria. The recorded history of the region and the town began with the arrival of the Bavarians in the 6th century AD. The influence of the Wittelsbach dynasty started in the 8th century and continues to the present day. The hotel is located in Bad Wiessee, one of the five townships surrounding the lake and has a wonderful vista of Tegernsee and its famous abbey from the opposite banks. Its history is much more recent and until the 20th century it was a small agricultural settlement. Some fascinating examples of the old farm buildings occupy the old quarter of the town and are visited on our walks. Bad Wiessee s fortunes changed in 1909, when a Dutchman, Adrian Stoop, who was looking for oil, hit upon a mineral spring instead! The town boasts the strongest iodine sulphur springs in Germany which have contributed to its growth as a spa area. Visitors are often surprised by the large number of medical practices, clinics and therapy centres. Today, its magical Alpine location and numerous opportunities for leisure activities make it a popular playground for visitors from nearby Munich who are very familiar with the high quality of its running trails, bike tracks, parks and sailing facilities. Located in the Pre-Alps, the walking here is more manageable than the higher Alpine areas. It offers varied walking across large Alpine meadows and high forestry tracks with spectacular views back to the lake and across to mountain peaks in Germany and Austria. After a week exploring its charms and secrets, you will wonder why this area has been neglected by visitors from English speaking countries and feel you have discovered something very special. 2 Reservations - local rate (standard rate )

4 Holiday itinerary A unique feature of our Guided Walking holidays is the daily choice of walks. Each evening your leaders will give a short talk about the options for the next day and answer any questions that you may have. In Tegernsee you ll have a choice of two guided walks on each walking day. Easier Walks: 4 to 7 miles (6.5-11km) on good paths, but with some steeper sections. Up to 1,500ft (450m) of ascent in a day. Harder Walks: 6 to 9 miles ( km) mainly on good paths, with some steep and rough ascent. Up to 2,100ft (630m) of ascent in a day. Please note that the itinerary outlined below is provisional and could be subject to change. For the most up to date information, please check our website. A finalised itinerary will be available at the resort and your leaders will talk every evening about the next day s walks. Day 1: Arrival day You should arrive at the hotel with time to settle into your room and perhaps enjoy a stroll around the area. On the first evening your leaders will explain more about the walks and there will be plenty of time to meet with your fellow guests. Day 2: Bauer in der Au/Auer Alm Easier Walks: The easier walk ascends to Bauer in der Au and visits its large Alm (large area of meadow below the mountain). The descent crosses this meadowland through a pleasant forest to a lovely viewpoint where most of Tegernsee can be seen. The route we take visits the Aquadome and its aquaria and then follows the lakeside path back to the hotel. 6 miles (9.5km) with 700ft (210m) of ascent. Harder Walk: The harder walk starts and finishes at the hotel following a track along a river to a steep incline and over a ski road, and we can enjoy lunch at Auer Alm Gasthof. Later the descent follows a different route through forest via the lakeside and past some interesting old farm buildings, finally reaching the hotel. 9 miles (14.5km) with 1,900ft (570m) of ascent. Day 3: Tegernsee balcony route Both groups take a boat to Rottach Egern, and then follow a riverside path. Easier Walk: The easier walk ascends to reach a balcony path offering viewpoints of the lake. Our lunch stop is at a former monastery, now a beer hall! Walking through the older part of Tegernsee, we ascend onto the same balcony path and then descend to the small township of Gmund, famous for its papermaking industries, to catch a bus back to Bad Wiessee. 7 miles (11km) with 900ft (270m) of ascent. Harder Walk: The harder route ascends through forest, glimpsing the lake before a stop for a drink at Galaun Gasthof. The ascent continues to the dramatically perched Riederstein Chapel with spectacular views of the mountain ranges and then continues to reach the pinnacle of the Baumgartenschneid. The steep descent is through woodland, along paths and forestry tracks, making a final drink stop at the famous Bräustüberl. 7 miles (11km) with 2,100ft (630m) of ascent. 4 Reservations - local rate (standard rate )
5 Day 4: Wallberg Both groups travel to the Wallberg cable car, and ascend to the top station. Easier Walk: From the cable car station we can visit the tiny chapel or watch the paragliders. This is a good spot to photograph the views of the mountains and lake and relax in the station café. We then descend again on the cable car and begin our walk skirting the base of the Wallberg around to the small settlement of Enterrotach and a lunch stop. There follows a steady ascent, passing a waterfall to the beautiful mountain lake at Suttensee. 6 miles (9.5km) with 1,000ft (300m) of ascent. Harder Walk: Our walk climbs from the top station to the Wallberg summit. We then return, descending to Wallberg Haus and then climb Setzberg pinnacle. The views from here are along the ridge towards the impressive twin limestone towers of the Risserkogel and the Blankenstein. We continue and finish in the pleasant village of Kreuth. 6 miles (9.5km) with 1,100ft (330m) of ascent and 3,900ft (1,170m) of descent. Day 5: Free day Each week there is a free day when no guided walks are offered. This is an ideal opportunity to relax around the hotel, walk independently or visit local places of interest. Some options for your free day may include: Munich This is a popular destination for an interesting day out. There are numerous museums, art galleries, buildings and exhibitions to visit, not to mention shops, markets and parks. One day is not enough to get to know this much visited city but gives an interesting taste of the centre of Bavarian culture and the economic driving force behind its wealth. A visit might include walking to the Marienplatz and the Glockenspiel, the Hofbräuhaus, the Food Market, the Royal Residence, the Opera House or Maximilian Strasse. Bike hire is readily available in Munich and would extend the range of a visit to the various parks and green spaces incorporated into the city environs. Staying in the lakeside area This offers many possibilities: cruises on the lake, sailing boat hire (subject to proof of competence), bike hire, museum visits plus numerous other activities. Alternatively you can have a relaxing day using the hotel s pool and spa facilities. Bad Tölz This can be easily reached by bus from the hotel. This is a chocolate-box pretty spa town with an old quarter, beautifully located near the River Isar and offering a quieter day out than Munich. Local information website: For information on Tegernsee visit Day 6: Spitzingsee Both groups travel to Spitzingsee, a popular lakeside village surrounded by high mountains, where we ascend by cable car to the summit of Taubenstein. Easier Walk: Our walk ascends Rotwand, our highest point of the week at 1,884m. This route has views, some of the best in the area, of Grossglockner and Zugspitze (highest mountains of Austria and Germany). We have lunch in Rotwandhaus and then take the cable car back to Spitzingsee. 4 miles (6.5km) with 1,300ft (390m) of ascent. Harder walk: The harder route climbs to the summits of both Taubenstein and Rotwand for lunch and then makes a lengthy descent over Alm through woodlands to reach a deep limestone gorge full of bubbling waterfalls. 6 miles (9.5km) with 1,100ft (330m) of ascent and 3,100ft (930m) of descent. Day7: Kreuth/Klamm and Konigs Alm Both groups visit to the cheese dairy at Pförn. Easier Walk: We will set out from Kreuth following the river and climbing through woodland, visiting a memorial spring and passing the impressive buildings at Wildbad Kreuth, en route to Siebenhütte for a drink stop. We cross a large Alpine meadow and can stop for lunch with views to the Blue Mountains marking the Austrian border. To book online visit 5
6 From there we drop down to a secluded valley, the Wolf s Gorge, following its stream to a hidden waterfall. After lunch there is an easy stroll back to the bottom of the valley and transport back to the hotel. 7 miles (11km) with 800ft (240m) of ascent. Harder Walk: Our walk leaves from a little further up the same valley climbing a forestry track, across a meadow and into a natural bowl hiding the charming Königs Alm. We reach a high point and follow a balcony path to the river by a trout farm. From here we pass the buildings of Wildbad Kreuth and a riverside walk back to Kreuth for the bus back to the hotel. 7 miles (11km) with 1,500ft (450m) of ascent. Day 8: Departure day In the evenings The friendly atmosphere of our Guided Walking holidays continues into the evening. We ll enjoy a leisurely meal and then you may also like to join your leader for an evening stroll, listen to local musicians, test the healing powers of the local spring waters, relax with a book in a quiet lounge or enjoy a drink at the bar with your fellow walkers talking about your day 6 Reservations - local rate (standard rate )

8 Walking information Your walking leaders: HF Holidays leaders are a pivotal feature of our Guided Walking holidays. During the day they will guide you on the walks in a caring and considerate way, showing you places of interest en route. All our leaders have been selected on an intensive residential course so you can relax and enjoy your holiday knowing that you are in safe hands. Our leaders welcome your comments on the holiday survey; constructive suggestions for things that they might do differently are very helpful. We take pride in the quality of our holidays and work closely with all our providers to ensure our holidays meet your expectations. If for any reason you are not satisfied with any element of your holiday, our leaders are the best people to help. Local interest guides: In some of our resorts we may employ the services of a local interest guide who will accompany you on a walk to enrich and enhance your enjoyment of the area by giving you an insight into its history and culture. Tips for local interest guides have not been included in the price of your holiday. This is at your own discretion and we invite you to do this directly with the local guide. Maps: Your leaders will of course carry all the maps and detailed walk instructions needed for the walks. The maps available for this area are Wander Traum hikers map of Tegernsee Schliersee which covers all walks on a 1:30,000 scale and also Kompass map 8, Tegernsee, Schliersee, Wendelstein at 1:50,000.

9 Walking safely We are committed to running our Guided Walking holidays in a safe manner and your co-operation with this is much appreciated. No outdoor activity can be 100% risk free; however, if you take sensible precautions and adhere to your leaders instructions, your holiday will be both safe and enjoyable. On the first evening of your holiday (dependent on arrival time), the leaders will give a short talk about safety on the walks we would ask everyone to attend. Walking as a group: Our leaders always consider the safety of the group as a whole, and will show more caution over potential risks (such as bad or exceptionally hot weather) than an individual or couple might make on a private outing. Walks may be modified or cancelled following the leaders assessment of the day-to-day situation. Your leaders will refuse to accept any guest whose clothing, equipment, behaviour or walking ability is considered unsuitable, and where it could affect the safety and enjoyment of other guests on the proposed walk. It is your responsibility to follow the leader s guidelines, for the benefit and safety of the group as a whole. If you leave the group, then your leader will no longer have responsibility for you. For safety reasons, we stipulate a minimum party size of two guests in addition to the leader. First aid: In line with current practice, each leader carries a group first aid kit but is not able to supply any medication, including aspirin, paracetamol, antihistamines and antiseptic cream. Your health: It is essential that you describe on your guest registration form any health condition or disability you may have. The leaders will treat this confidentially and may be able to take it into account on the walks; for example, by not delaying lunch if they know they have someone with diabetes in their party. EU citizens should ensure they have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) prior to their holiday. There can be problems with medical authorities and insurance companies if you cannot produce this when you require treatment details are available at www. dh.gov.uk/travellers EHIC cards have an expiry date please check yours is valid before you travel Hydration: In warm weather it is very important to keep hydrated. You will need to carry a minimum of two litres of water with you on walks, more during hot weather or on more demanding walks. One good way of hydrating is to use a two litre hydration pack which allows drinking without constant stopping. This can then be filled up from additional water sources as required. Your leader will inform you of the possibilities for replenishing your water during the walks. Insurance: Insurance is a condition of booking. Therefore if you have not already arranged insurance, it is imperative that you do so, and advise us of the insurance company and policy number. We have negotiated special holiday insurance and full details of this cover can be found in our brochure or at hfholidays.co.uk. There is no extra charge for pre-existing illnesses. If you would like to purchase insurance from us please call us on or holidayservices@hfholidays.co.uk. Even with an EHIC card, medicines and out-patient treatment normally have to be paid for at the time and the costs reclaimed afterwards details are available at dh.gov.uk/travellers. Therefore insurance is extremely important, as is access to emergency money, preferably a credit card. Money: Access to emergency money, preferably via a credit card, is very important as you never know when an emergency may arise. To book online visit 9
10 What to wear and bring To enjoy your walking comfortably and safely, it is essential that your footwear, clothing and equipment are suitable for the conditions likely to be encountered.
