Landscape in Bavarian Alps
While the mountains are not particulary high, (the Zugspitze rises only to about 10,000 ft), they are none the less imposing looking to the visitor and native alike. This is because of the massive vertical rise that the mountains take on from the Bavarian countryside south of Munich giving the viewer the impression that they are much higher than they really are. Added the fact that the mountains are older in geological terms, they are quite chiseled at their peaks giving the traveler wonderful views like the famous home peak of Berchtesgaden, the Watzmann. Alpine crystal blue lakes and flowing rivers are abundant in the region as well. Thick fur tree forests hide abundant wildlife and thousands of kilometers of marked hiking trails that could easily lead you over the open frontier to Austria. The region is popular with motorbike riders and mountain bikers too.
