Self-catering holiday flats (Ferienwohnung) are excellent value for those who want to stay in a place for three days or longer; many landlords require a minimum of one week. This is an especially good option for families or if you are travelling in a group. Facilities vary according to price but may include a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge and separate bedrooms. Once again, the websites of local tourist offices are the best place to search for this kind of accommodation. Other websites for holiday flats in Bavaria and elsewhere in Germany include www.novasol.co.uk, www.interhome.co.uk and www.interhomeusa.com.

Holiday flats are often available in beautiful old farmhouses

Hotels and mountain inns

There is a wide range of hotel accommodation within the area. They are usually rated from one to five stars in line with international standards. Especially attractive for hikers are mountain inns, some of which are only accessible by cable car or on foot. These are mentioned (see Appendix C) if they occur on or near a route. Hotels can often be booked directly via the tourist office website of the relevant base town.
