Walking Holidays in Bavaria

"A walkers' paradise. Setting off every day from the front door in a different direction and always finding somewhere for lunch" Mrs. K G, Manchester May 2006

Thanks very much for your fantastic hospitality and making it such a great week. We've all really enjoyed walking in this lovely area, which was new to us all and the accommodation has been brilliant. Thank you.

The landscape of the Bavarian/Czech border offers a wide variety of walking opportunities. From a gentle forest stroll for food and drink at a former woodcutter's cottage, to the challenge of a hike up the Grosser Arber mountain, we have it all. Experience the dappled light of the forest glades as you walk round a glacial lake, or panoramic vistas from mountain summits - this very special part of the world has a lot to offer. You can even take a walk across the former Iron Curtain. We can provide you with local maps and guide books. Excellent bus and train services allow you to explore further afield.

Our 5 self catering apartments are finished to an exceptionally high standard and each has a kitchen/dining room, separate living room and a mixture of double and twin bedrooms. Our 2 5*****star apartments have all ensuite bedrooms. Most of the apartments have balconies to allow a relaxed appreciation of the surrounding area.

When you want a break from walking, you can enjoy outdoor table tennis or take a sauna, hire our mountain bikes, or relax with a good book from the library or your choice from our hundreds of DVDs and CDs. And for a complete break there are excursions in Bavaria and the Czech Republic to be tried.

Bayerisch Eisenstein has an unusually large number of long distance footpaths running through the village:

• The E6 European Long Distance Footpath from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea passes along the Czech border and right through the middle of the village, heading over the Arber mountain to the north and the Falkenstein and Rachel mountains to the South. It is designated by a green arrow in a square.
• The Glassmakers Way runs along the Czech border from Lam in the north to Grafenau in the south.
• St. Gunther's Way runs from Kloster Niederalteich on the Danube via Rinchnach into Bohemia.
• The Bohemian Way follows the old trading paths from the Danube Valley to Bohemia, running from Deggendorf via Bischofsmais and Zwiesel to Bayerisch Eisenstein (65 km).
• The Goldsteig - 600km through the Oberpflaz and Bohemian Forests
• The river path goes along the Great Regen river from Bayerisch Eisenstein to Zwiesel and the town of Regen.
