Published to coincide with the ISPO outdoors industry exhibition being held in Munich this week, the German language trail guides have been created by local experts from regional tourism agencies, hiking associations, and other publishers. The trail guides can be downloaded, viewed, and navigated on Apple iPad, iPhone, Android, and Symbian mobile devices using the ViewRanger Outdoors GPS app, or viewed via the My.ViewRanger.com social network website.
ViewRanger’s massive library of navigable trail guides help outdoor enthusiasts and tourists get more from their time in popular hiking, mountain biking and outdoor destinations across Europe and the USA. All trail guides are branded, and include rich information often with photos, web links, and even location-triggered audio or video clips.
This latest set of trail guides includes many trails to choose from in Bavaria and the Alps in Austria and Switzerland. Publishers include:
• Tourismusverband Alpenregion Tegernsee Schliersee e. V. (Alpine regional tourism)
• Schweiz Tourismus (Swiss Tourism)
• Tourismusverband Ostallgäu
• Vorarlberg Tourismus
• das Berchtesgardener Land
