Scottish Highlander's favourites: 6 hikes in the Bavarian Forest

At first glance, Bavaria and Scotland may not seem to have much in common, but look again and there are some similarities. Both have blue and white flags, impressive nature, and are havens for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. In the tranquil town of Mauth in the heart of the Bavarian Forest, you can find a small slice of Scotland at the Scottish Highlander Guesthouse. Here, you start your day with a Scottish breakfast, spend the day exploring beautiful landscapes in the Bavarian National Park, and return to your hosts, Peter and Grit Schröder, at their small Scottish paradise in the evening. In this Collection, we introduce 6 wonderful Bavarian hikes with a Scottish flare.

They take you along beautiful trails through the dense Bavarian Forest where you can enjoy fantastic views from Lusen and Siebensteinkopf mountains as well as the tranquil water.
