Relaxing Walking Holidays in Germany

Self Guided Walking Tours with Baggage Transfer

Hotel Based Walking Holidays

Our Walking Holidays in Germany and Nearby are Completely Independent

There are no leaders or groups, so you can always stop when you feel like it, to rest or to look at something that interests you without feeling that you are holding others up.

Welcome to Russell Hafter Holidays, specialists for independent Walking Holidays in Germany and nearby areas of the bordering countries.

Our philosophy is to offer holidays for the individual, and as we know that different people have different interests, you are never required to conform to the wishes of a group, and you walk at the pace that you decide, not that of anyone else.

As well as walking holidays throughout Germany, we also offer similar holidays in Belgium, Alsace and Luxembourg. In addition, we offer one holiday mainly in Austria, on the Danube Heights and another, in the Bavarian Forest, includes two nights in the Czech Republic. See the list to your left for links to holidays in these other countries.
