What better way to experience a city than on foot?
Munich is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and has so much more to offer than the well-known tourist attractions, the Oktoberfest or the pedestrian zone.
The real treasures of Munich are the diversity and originality of its districts, with their different architecture, living culture and tradition. Each district has its very own character. Individual stores, owner-managed, traditional or trendy restaurants, bars, cafés and quaint pubs combined with a green belt of Isar meadows and extensive parks - this is what gives Munich its special flair.

Hike 113 kilometers in 10 exciting daily stages through Munich.

The 10 different stages, which are 9 to 14 kilometers long, each have a specific theme and reflect the diversity and unique character of the city's districts.
There is plenty to discover on the stages with promising names such as "Royal Stroll","Sporty Munich" or"Off to the South".
