Close to the mountains: campsites in Bavaria

Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze, is located in Bavaria. Naturally, there are campsites in prime locations for hikers and skiers in the surrounding area. The sometimes striking mountain ranges in the south become increasingly gentle towards the north. The foothills of the Alps are the place to go for camping holidaymakers who enjoy leisurely hikes or cycling and golfing in a beautiful setting. Climbers will find dream routes in Franconian Switzerland.

Camping in Bavaria: the most beautiful with a lake

Upper Bavarian lakes, Franconian lake district, Allgäu lake district. These are just the largest contiguous lake areas in the south-easternmost federal state. The Alpine chain is lined with crystal-clear lakes with drinking water quality that are ideal for swimming, water sports and fishing. Some are considered paradises for ambitious divers. There is a campsite on almost every major Bavarian lake. Guests often have direct access to the water. In the summer months, the waters warm up to a pleasant bathing temperature. In cold winters, they become natural ice skating rinks. Chiemsee, Tegernsee and Starnberger See are just the best known. Lake Königssee in Berchtesgadener Land is an experience in its own right, surrounded by striking rock faces. Following the Upper Bavarian model, the Franconian Lake District with its seven man-made lakes such as Altmühlsee, Großer Brombachsee and Rothsee has also developed a perfect infrastructure for camping guests. Wonderful destinations are the Hopfensee, Pilsensee and Elbsee lakes.
