Description

Good to Know

Andechs is a favorite of locals for good reason. With views of the Alps, a fine Baroque church and a bustling beer hall serving up some of the finest Bavarian dishes anywhere, it's easy to see why. The monk's home-brewed beer is world renowned and there's no better place to drink it than onsite. Hike back via beautiful Lake Ammersee and stop at the scenic lakeside Biergarten for one last beer. Join Beer Hiking Bavaria author as he takes you along the Way of St. James en route to the hilltop Andechs monastery. Note that this is a private tour and can be tailored to your group's needs.

Beautiful hike with beer as a reward

This was a great tour. It was a beautiful day, the hike was terrific. Rich was a lot of fun and very informative. We had a great lunch at the beer garden. I highly recommend the pretzels with cheese dip. The beer was excellent. We then hiked to a lake and enjoyed just sitting and looking at it (while drinking more beer). There were three of us, two elders past 65 and our son in his 20s. The hike was a little strenuous for me, a 68 year old woman, but we took our time and I did fine. A great time...read more

It was a pleasure spending time with you and your family, Gail. You did great on the hike and think you never enjoyed a beer more than at the lake at the end! Now, you have me in the mood for the pretzel and cheese dip too.

Beer, Monestary, Hiking wow!

🌲 **Incredible Day of Hiking and Exploration!** 🌲 Today, we spent the day hiking through the woods with friends, and it was nothing short of amazing! The trail led us to a stunning monastery, steeped in history and fascinating stories. We enjoyed some refreshing beers, which added a fun twist to our adventure. Afterward, we made our way down to a beautiful lake that took our breath away. Our tour guide was outstanding, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Spending the day with ...read more

Perfect Bavarian Beer & Hiking Experience

A bit overdue review, but was recently in Munich again and remember mer that this was hands-down one of the best experiences of our trip to Bavaria. The combination of hiking, incredible beer, authentic Bavarian food, stunning scenery, and local history made this far more than just a “tour” — it felt like spending the day with a knowledgeable friend who truly loves the region. The hike itself was beautiful and very manageable, winding through forests and countryside along the historic St. James...read more

This was our favorite...

This was our favorite tour on our trip to Munich! Rich was incredibly knowledgeable about Munich and surrounding areas and most of all Beer! We learned so much and the hike to Andechs was beautiful. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend! Thank you Rich for the wonderful experience!

Response from ViatorSeptember 30, 2025

Thanks for the super accolades, Mitzi. It was great sharing a fun day with you both and having the opportunity to show you some of the beautiful Bavarian countryside. I hope to show you more one day.

A great beer day in a beautiful setting!

Can't say enough great things about Rich and this tour. It was informative, scenic, and an overall perfect day learning about the monastery. Rich was attentive and engaging, answering any questions and leading us to all the good beer spots. A trip definitely worth your time!
