The Englischer Garten in Munich is one of the most extraordinary places you will ever find for running - it's huge, peaceful and serene but runs right through all the hustle and bustle of Munich. The capital of Bavaria, Munich is a modern city full of culture and life, and yet this garden bisects it to provide an oasis of calm in the unlikeliest of places.

Starting and finishing at the Olympiapark UBahn station, this loops combines nature, amazing architecture and fascinating history. For just one run, that's a pretty good list! There are no technical difficulties and the paths are good all the way along the route.

A scenic and peaceful day hike which takes you from some of the Tirol’s busiest trails to some its quietest!

The Karwendel is glacier free and relatively easy to access, but the sheer size of the area and the lack of infrastructure within it make it a truly wild place, comparable to much higher and better known parts of the Alps. This loop is a wonderful way to sample the Karwendel in a single day, and it is likely to whet your appetite for further exploration.

A classic mellow hike through peaceful forests and between a series of lakes.

Taking in no less than 3 excellent mountain huts, this is a medium-difficulty mountain bike ride with superb views on the southern side of the Inn valley.
