    Hiking

    The so-called Philosopher's Walk connects Garmisch-Partenkirchen with Farchant, or vice versa, depending on where you want to hike 😉. Numerous benches with quotes from famous philosophers line this wonderful hiking trail above the rooftops of Partenkirchen, offering stunning views of the town and the surrounding mountains.
    The trail is approximately 5 km long and is wheelchair- and stroller-friendly. The Philosopher's Walk is cleared in winter.
    We really enjoyed the trail and definitely gives it a 👍🏼

    Hiking

    An easy hike, on well-paved paths with gentle inclines, even suitable for a stroller. Beautiful views, and if you take the time to reflect on the thoughts of some philosophers of the past 2,500 years, it's very interesting!
