I am looking for a place to spend a few days hiking this August for a long weekend. I will be coming from and returning to Munich, where I'll catch a flight back to the U.S.
We want a place convenient to great day hikes. We are quite fit, so 6-15 mile day hikes are ideal. Towns and culture are less important to us. We'd prefer a place that won't be overtaken by tourists like us. We are willing to drive about 3-4 hours from Munich for the right place, though closer is of course better. (We'd do the Bavarian Alps but fear the crowds.)
There are so many options, I am finding it overwhelming! Any help would be appreciated.
