Maximiliansweg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maximiliansweg is a long-distance hiking path through the Bavarian Alps (with some short sections through the Austrian Alps), which connects Lindau (im Bodensee) to Berchtesgaden. The trail is around 320km in distance and is largely congruous with long-distance path E4. Two boat crossings are suggested, from Lindau to Bregenz (over the Bodensee) and from Bad Wiessee to Tegernsee (over the Tegernsee).

Starting from Lindau the path goes through Bregenz, Füssen with Neuschwanstein castle, through the Ammergauer alps, Mangfallgebirge, Chiemgayer alps ending in Berchesgaden south of Salzburg.

A hiking path near Maximiliansweg is the Lech-Höhen-Weg, that follows the Lech river and begins North in Zollhaus and ends South in Füssen.
