Exceptional German tours & fairy tale castles
“The rivers and hills of Germany tell a story of its soul.”
- Johann Wolfgang v. Goethe, poet
From the vibrant pulse of Munich to the majesty of the Bavarian Alps, Southern Germany is where you can find rich regal history and cultural depth, not to mention magnificent natural gorges and quiet mountain passes, which offer thrilling adventures as well as secluded hideaways for the experienced traveller.
FAIRYTALES SET IN MAGICAL LANDSCAPES: HISTORICAL AND NATURAL GRANDEUR
Bavaria is the only German state to share the majesty of the Alps, and the stretch of mountain scenery is accented by lush meadows, pristine forests and glistening lakes.
For those who prefer an urban escape, the capital of Munich is a city that offers both deep-rooted history and dynamic modernity. Its historical significance is most deeply felt in landmarks such as the Munich Residence, which served as the seat of Bavarian dukes, electors, and kings. On a grander, more palatial scale, however, is Nymphenburg Palace, the former summer residence of the House of Wittelsbach, where the extensive grounds and frontal façade bring to mind Europe’s premier royal palaces.
​
The fortresses and castles beyond the city are well worth a visit for their sheer scale and historical significance. Neuschwanstein Castle, King Ludwig II’s 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace, is known for its architectural silhouette that looks straight out of a fairytale, set dramatically against the Alpine foothills and crystalline waters.
THE ART OF DISCONNECTION: CONNECT TO YOURSELF AND NATURE
Travellers looking to become more deeply connected to their bodies and minds will find that this region offers an excellent balance of invigorating active pursuits and mindful wellbeing.
​​​​
Explore the Nationalpark Berchtesgaden, Germany's only Alpine national park, through a hike with an expert guide, or take a tranquil cruise across the fjord-like Königssee Lake to the church of St. Bartholomew. For those seeking an even more meditative experience, e-mountain bikes can be arranged so that you can access remote, secluded Alpine areas.
​
The Elmau region is known to be the destination for recreation and wellness, with world-renowned retreats such as Schloss Elmau, which offers facilities designed for reflection and restoration. From gentle outdoor activities like kayaking across the lakes to spa treatments tailored for holistic wellbeing, every experience is designed to maximise your relaxation and create a peaceful space for bonding.​
GERMAN GASTRONOMY: FROM MICHELIN STARS TO MOUNTAIN HUTS
When it comes to world-class cuisine, Munich in particular is home to establishments such as the two-Michelin-starred Tantris, which offers sophisticated classic French cuisine with an Asian twist. Meanwhile, the celebrated Schwarzreiter Restaurant elevates traditional Bavarian cuisine with a modern, inventive touch. For a more everyday experience of Munich’s charm, the Viktualienmarkt—a 200-year-old outdoor market—is an essential stop, with more than a hundred stalls of regional culinary delights and artisanal goods.
​
For those looking for local simplicity, Bavaria offers a vibrant, authentic food scene. Gourmands can try Schweinebraten (roast pork) or Weisswurst (white veal sausage), traditionally enjoyed before noon with a pretzel and sweet mustard, or a pint at the outdoor beer gardens beneath chestnut trees. The region’s brewing heritage is protected by the Reinheitsgebot (Bavarian Beer Purity Law) of 1516, which is still in effect today as one of the world's oldest consumer protection laws.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE
Meanwhile, the Bavarian spirit is one of profound regional identity, often summed up by the proud local phrase, "Mia san mia!" ("We are who we are!")–incidentally, the motto for the FC Bayern Munich football club. This culture values conviviality, traditional customs and a deep connection to history.
​
The locals honour their heritage through customs such as wearing Tracht (traditional attire), including Lederhosen for men and Dirndl for women, which is frequently seen during local festivities to express regional identity. Unique cultural practices also include the autumn Almabtrieb (cattle drive), where cows are led from the mountain pastures to the valley for the winter. Those visiting in the cooler months should also try to plan their trips around the world-famous Oktoberfest in autumn, or the glittering Christmas markets in winter.
​
In the Bavarian Alpine region, every journey is an opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, the culture, and above all, your companions and yourself.
