Munich

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.

A VISIONARY PRODUCT IDEA FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT!

The Munich Trail and its digital platform are also intended to promote the preservation of the diversity of Munich's cityscape and offer visitors and Munich residents a platform where they can find out about trendy, quaint, long-established and sustainable city life and combine a city walk with an individual shopping tour.

THE FIRST URBAN LONG-DISTANCE HIKING TRAIL

This walk through Munich takes you to the most famous places and sights of the Bavarian capital, including Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, Isartor, Residenz, Nymphenburg Castle and Olympiapark. It is quite long with a walk of just under 20 km, but in many places it can be shortened by using public transport.

THE 10 ETAPS

discover munich's city districts, green oases and secret tips on foot - on 10 stages of the munich trail!

Hike 113 kilometers in 10 exciting daily stages through Munich. Under the motto"Set off and discover the diversity of Munich", the stages of the trail lead from the Isar on the southern edge of the city all the way up north to Feldmoching. 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". Not only typical sights such as the Frauenkirche are on the route, but above all the somewhat less well-known corners. This way you can explore a completely different side of the city. For example, do you know the Church of the Knights Templar, the hidden castles of Amalienburg, Pagodenburg and Badenburg or the Thai Sala Temple?
