On the trail of the Ice Age in the Massiger Gorge at Lake Starnberg.
The Maisinger Gorge in the Fünf-Seen-Land in the middle of Upper Bavaria was formed during the last Ice Age. The leisurely hike with children through the gorge has a wide range of experiences to offer the kids and one thing it definitely won’t be – boring. The family hike is therefore also suitable for kids who do not yet have much hiking experience. A nice inn with Kaiserschmarrn and a playground awaits you halfway through the hike.
Family hike around the picturesque Eibsee!
With the Zugspitze and a great mountain panorama in view as well as the turquoise-blue water, holiday feelings arise directly at the Eibsee. It is not for nothing that the Eibsee is also called the Maldives in Bavaria. The best way to start a hike with children around Lake Eibsee is from the Zugspitze cable car parking lot. From there, follow the signs to the lake, where the tour begins. Many travel guides recommend walking counterclockwise around the lake, as the view of the Zugspitze is particularly magnificent. We decided to go the other way so that we could walk in the warm midday sun for a long time. Almost the entire route you have the highest mountain in Germany in view. No matter which side you start from.

Passing waterfalls into the hut paradise for children! The ascent to the Feldlahnalm with children will definitely not be boring. The entire route runs along the Hammergraben. That means continuous rushing water and happy splashing in the ears. The Hammergraben arouses great interest among the children. The water gushes at the small waterfalls, elsewhere you can descend and splash in the water with your hands or even climb a bit on the large stones in the stream. There is definitely plenty of variety to keep the little hikers happy.

The best destination for hiking with children above the Schliersee!
The hike is suitable for children, only runs along the road for a bit in the lower part and has a doable length of one hour. The Schliersbergalm is the ideal driver. Once you’ve reached the top, it’s pure Eldorado for kids. Not only does the Schliersbergalm have a great playground at the edge of the forest, where the slide goes between the trees. There are also several large children’s trampolines with a wonderful panorama over the Schliersee. There’s also the Alpenexpress. It’s great fun, especially for the kids. It takes them up and down the hilly terrain in front of the Schliersbergalm. The summer toboggan run is completely different. Here, even the adults get more into the swing of things.
