Peaks, Paths & People is about discovering mountains together, finding the right trail for everyone, and growing friendships along the way.

Join the young adults of Redeemer Rotterdam for a weekend in the Bavarian Alps. We'll hike together, explore breathtaking mountain trails, share great conversations, and create memories that last long after the journey ends.

Once we know who is coming, we'll decide together:

The exact dates in October
Whether we travel from Friday to Sunday, Saturday to Sunday, or extend the weekend with an extra day
Which accommodation fits the group best
How challenging the hikes should be
Whether there is enough interest for a via ferrata adventure

Our goal is simple: create an unforgettable Alpine weekend that works for everyone.

The Destination

We'll stay in Füssen, Germany, or one of the nearby villages at the foot of the Alps.

This beautiful region is known for:

Spectacular mountain scenery
Crystal-clear lakes
Traditional Bavarian villages
Neuschwanstein Castle
Accessible hiking routes for all levels
Challenging alpine trails for experienced hikers

The area offers plenty of flexibility, making it the perfect base for a mixed group with different experience levels.

Hiking for Every Level

Not everyone enjoys the same type of hike, and that's okay.

The idea is to plan routes that allow everyone to participate at a level that suits them.

Examples could include:

Easy

Scenic walks and mountain trails with moderate elevation.

Moderate

Classic alpine hikes with rewarding views and a good physical challenge.

Challenging

Longer routes with significant elevation gain and more technical terrain.

Via Ferrata Option

For adventurous participants, we may include a via ferrata route. Equipment is available for up to five people.

Where possible, different groups can take different routes while aiming for the same destination, allowing us to regroup and enjoy the experience together.

Tegelberg Adventure

One of the highlights may be Tegelberg, the iconic mountain next to Neuschwanstein Castle.

Options include:

Hiking up and down
Taking a more demanding route
Via ferrata sections for experienced participants
Using the cable car as an alternative for part of the journey

This flexibility makes Tegelberg a great destination for a diverse group.

Travel

We plan to travel by car from the Netherlands.

Car sharing allows us to:

Keep costs manageable
Travel together as a group
Remain flexible during the weekend

Drivers and passengers will be matched once the group is confirmed.

Accommodation

Depending on group size and preferences, we'll choose accommodation in or around Füssen.

Options may include:

Camping
Hostels
Guesthouses
Hotels

The final choice will be made together after registration.
