Activity Level & Accessibility
This trip is designed to be moderately active, with a variety of activities that include walking, standing, and some stairs. Here’s an overview of the activity level and accessibility considerations to help you plan:
Activity Level
- Daily Walking Distances: Expect to walk up to 2-4 miles daily, often on uneven surfaces such as cobblestone streets, gravel paths, and hills.
- Stairs & Elevations: Many sites, including castles, historic buildings, and the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine, involve stairs or inclines. Some activities, like the Keltenberg Knight Festival and the Amazing Race Munich, may require moderate physical effort over extended periods.
- Transportation: Comfortable group transport is provided, but participants may need to climb a few steps to board buses or trains.
Wheelchair Accessibility
- General Accessibility: While efforts are made to accommodate all travelers, some areas of the trip may present challenges for those with limited mobility or wheelchair users due to historic sites, uneven terrain, or non-accessible infrastructure.
- Berchtesgaden Salt Mine: This activity includes a miner’s train and a slide, which may not be suitable for wheelchair users or those with mobility limitations.
- Kaltenberg Knight Festival: Held in an open, uneven terrain setting, the festival may pose difficulties for wheelchairs. However, alternative arrangements can be made to enhance the experience.
- Salzburg & Munich Tours: These include accessible routes wherever possible, though some cobblestone streets and historic sites may be less accommodating.
Special Accommodations
We are happy to work with participants to provide as much support as possible, including identifying accessible alternatives, providing advance site information, and recommending personal mobility aids where needed. Please inform us of your needs at the time of booking so we can ensure the best possible experience for you.
