Hiking Transalp: Füssen - Merano

Experience the Alps in all their glory from north to south. Starting in Bavarian Allgäu, with the fairy-tale castle Neuschwanstein, you cross the entire mountain range on foot to sunny Merano in Italian South Tyrol. Along the way you follow the Way of St. James and the turquoise river Lech with vast alpine meadows and massive cliff walls as backdrop. Along the way the surroundings slowly change as you cross national borders and cultural boundaries. The famous church tower in Lake Reschen welcomes you to Italy and soon the cultivations of juicy apples and promising grapevines abound. At the finish line in Merano you are met by palm trees, promenades and a mild, almost Mediterranean climate. It's a perfect reward after a week on some of the Alps' most beautiful trails.
