When you walk in Germany, make it worth it on an Inntravel holiday. Our carefully planned routes (described in easy-to-follow notes) are the perfect way to discover the country up close, allowing plenty of time to appreciate your surroundings. And because there’s no group, no arrangements to make (we do all that), and no luggage to worry about, you can make impromptu stops to watch an eagle, learn about local history, or to sip a local brew in a beer garden.

Follow in the footsteps of Romantic artists as you wander the Malerweg, or ‘Painters’ Trail’, in the Saxon Switzerland National Park. Starting in the cultural city of Dresden and ending in medieval Pirna, you’ll discover natural wonders, historic landmarks, and pretty towns – such as Bad Schandau with its relaxing thermal baths – and cover six of the Malerweg’s eight stages with additional sights woven in.

Easy access | Great public transport links for discovering the park. |
With hiking trails and meadows in full bloom, and the air fresh with spring, the woodland wonderland of the Black Forest is at its most revitalising this time of year.
Lake Constance is a scene of abundance in late spring and early summer, with blossoming apple trees prompting the emergence of pop-up fruit stalls, and seasonal produce accompanying dishes of fresh lake fish.
Rugged peaks that reach towards epic skies, deep-green forests laced with walking trails, and rippling lakes that glisten in the sun – the Bavarian Alps are truly a walker’s paradise in summer.
For a stay that feels genuinely special, Biohotel Eggensberger is a rare find - a third-generation, family-run hotel where over 50 years of care and evolution are felt in every detail. Founded in 1976 and still shaped by the Eggensberger family today, it blends heartfelt hospitality with a pioneering approach to sustainability, from its early adoption of organic principles to becoming one of the first certified biohotels in the region. With climate-positive operations, renewable energy systems, and 100% organic cuisine sourced partly from the family’s own farm, this is a place where eco credentials aren’t a feature - they’re a way of life, creating a stay that feels both meaningful and deeply restorative.
