class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Bavaria’s most beautiful scenery is in Berchtesgadener Land, on the Austrian border. Here is the romantic Königssee, surrounded by the steep slopes of the Berchtesgaden Alps. Behind the lake rises Watzmann – not the highest mountain in Bavaria, but, as locals say, the most beautiful. Riding the Bötli, where a trumpeter plays the familiar echo, is a must. Of course, the area is also a hiking paradise. If you wish, you can walk in four stages around Lake Königssee.

Lower Franconians claim their home in northwestern Bavaria is the most beautiful part of the world. Maybe. With its cute villages and culinary culture, Mainfranken is definitely worth visiting. The lifeline is the Main, on whose slopes the famous Franconian wine grows, which is celebrated in numerous wine festivals in the summer. Besides delicious delicacies, the region also offers a healthy dose of culture, along with hiking trails and cycling tours along the Main cycle route: Germany’s smallest theater is housed in a medieval gate tower in the small village of Sommerhausen, and Würzburg’s baroque architecture residence is a UNESCO World Heritage Site It has become his field.

Munich may be the Free State’s most famous city, but the most beautiful is Regensburg. The once free imperial city on the Danube was the richest city in Southern Germany in the 14th century; The historic old town (UNESCO World Heritage Site) with its noble houses, churches and dynastic towers bears witness to this. You shouldn’t miss the stone bridge from 1135 – at that time the only bridge over the Danube between Ulm and Vienna. A touch of Florence in the middle of Bavaria.

Bavaria’s legendary gourmet export is Weisswurst. It consists of boiled sausage, beef and bacon. It is flavored with salt (salt that does not sting – hence the white colour), pepper, mace, lemon powder and parsley. Traditionally, white sausage was eaten only in the morning because it spoiled quickly. It goes well with sweet mustard and wheat beer. By the way: Real Munich people make sausage “zuzel”. The sausage meat is pulled out of the casing with your teeth.

The Franken Open Air Museum near the town of Bad Windsheim promises a journey into the life of the past. 100 farms from the region were established in an area of ​​45 hectares. Demonstrations showcase historical crafts and original cultivation methods. Hearty Franconian dishes are served in reconstructed restaurants on the museum grounds.

“There is a Hofbräuhaus in Munich…” This institution in Munich is probably the most famous pub in the world. Beer has been produced here since 1589. 5000 liters are sold per day. This would go well with a sausage and cheese snack plate or roasted pork knuckle. Despite its reputation, the Hofbräuhaus is not only a tourist magnet, but also a typical beer bar where Munich originals serve several drinks every day.

The Bavarian Forest National Park, on the border with the Czech Republic, was the first of its kind in Germany. Together with the adjacent Šumava Biosphere Reserve in Bohemia, the national park is the largest contiguous forest in Central Europe. Thanks to strict environmental policy, in recent years vast virgin forests where lynxes and wolves roam have been revived. The sparsely populated area is particularly suitable for active holidays by walking or cycling. Tip: The village of Bodenmais is famous for its glassblowing art. There are shows at Crystal World Joska.

Neuschwanstein, next to Versailles near Paris, is the world’s most famous castle, and it’s a fake. Neuschwanstein was founded in 1869 by the King of Bavaria II. It was built as a medieval replica for Ludwig. Ludwig II (1845-1886) was Bavaria’s most colorful king: driven to ruin by his addiction to construction, he was incapacitated by the state parliament, whereupon the monarch took his own life at Lake Starnberg. Located on a rocky hill near the city of Füssen, the magic of the castle remains unbroken: With around 1.5 million visitors a year, Neuschwanstein is Bavaria’s most popular attraction.

Globi stories in Switzerland are Augsburger Puppenkiste in Germany. The family-run puppet theater was founded in Augsburg in 1943 and has produced stories for television for decades. The productions “Urmel aus dem Eis” and “Jim Knopf and Lukas the Engine Driver” are legendary. The small theater in Augsburg’s old town shows both children’s and adult plays (book in advance). Milestones in the 70-year history of dolls are exhibited in the museum.

While Saxon Switzerland near Dresden is famous far beyond German borders, Franconian Switzerland between the cities of Erlangen, Bamberg and Bayreuth in northeastern Bavaria remains largely unknown. The region earned the nickname “Switzerland” due to its characteristic rock formations. In other words: hiking or climbing is particularly suitable here. Approximately St. Franconian Switzerland, the size of the canton of St. Gallen, is full of medieval villages and castles, 17 of which can be visited. And finally the best thing: you can feast with peace of mind in Franconia. There are approximately 70 breweries in Franconian Switzerland alone; so be sure to try the local beer.

The Bavarian town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Germany. Virtually nothing has changed on the nine-metre-high city wall for more than 500 years; A dream for medieval and history enthusiasts. Smart monument protection protected the cityscape; For example, neon signs in front of stores are taboo. Have you ever seen a McDonald’s with a cast iron logo? You should definitely try the Rothenburger Schneeball, which is a ball made of cookie dough sprinkled with powdered sugar. Curious: Some stores specialize in Christmas decorations 365 days a year.
