All 14 long-distance hiking trails have one thing in common: they are groundbreaking, which means they are well signposted, varied and exciting, and have a good infrastructure for overnight stays: many hosts along the way have been awarded a seal of approval.
As early as 2005, the 14 most beautiful hiking trails joined forces to form the Top Trails of Germany. These long-distance hiking trails meet the criteria as a “premium hiking trail” from the German Hiking Institute or as a “quality trail” from the Wanderbares Deutschlands portal, the website of the German Hiking Association. This is the umbrella organization of 58 German mountain and hiking clubs with around 600,000 members.

At the same time, the German Tourism Association launched the “Quality Host” label for hotels, guesthouses, private accommodation, holiday apartments, youth hostels and inns.
Anyone who has been hiking all day, perhaps even caught in bad weather and gotten wet, wants to spend the night in good accommodation where they don’t have to deal with grumpy hosts and bad food.
On the following pages of the photo series we provide suggestions for the most beautiful multi-day hikes in Germany. The requirements are different: The selection ranges from the strenuous 350 kilometer long Albsteig in Swabia to a route through the Lüneburg Heath in Lower Saxony to the moderately difficult Rheinstieg with deep views of Germany’s longest river.
