pro tip: skip oktoberfest and come during early summer. Basically every city has it's own little "volksfest" and it's much more authentic without all the overpriced crap and millions of tourists
I actually had more fun at the small Oktoberfest tent at the camping it self when we stayed during our stay.
Rengschbuarger dult is zu best
im going mid july hoping this will hold truth i want to drink with the locals not tourist.
Sie haben recht @@elmaestro1269
Auer Dult in Munich. Fun, good food, too!
I think Bavaria is heaven on earth and I would love to live there. In some Alp village or in the city of Straubing, my personal favourite! Gruss Gott to all great Bavarians!
wow thats cool, i am from straubing. live like 800m from the stadtturm/ city tower. where are you from?
When you think Bavaria is the Heaven on earth just Go once to Austria kernten 🙌🏾
So nice, hope you will find a reason to live here...
Wow even after 4 years i stummbled upon this vid. Im from SR aswell ;) Cheers and happy Gäubodenfest 2022 ;)
Why Straubing?
I was stationed in Regensburg for a year (67/68) as an Army Medic. My goodness ! Such a great place! It was like being in dreamland. Once there, you can’t forget the place.
I was last week in Munich and discovered one of the best beers that I have ever drunk. Augustiner Helles draft beer. Excellent beer.
Did you also try Augustiner Edelstoff? It's even a bit better imo ;)
Augustiner Edelstoff is top notch and Augustiner in general
@@GrandmaGruegstook No, unfortunatelly, only Helles.
Funny you mention that. When I was an exchange student back in 99 in Bavaria my classmates and I were all about Augustiner Helles. Approved!
Its also on of the oldest breweries
The fact that US perceptions of Germany might have been influenced by post-WWII peacekeeping in the south of Germany is actually quite fascinating ! Never thought about it like that, Mark, but it does seem logical. :-) And thanks for another nice video.
+ZemplinTemplar yeah, I had wondered that too but after talking to both US and Germans and some research it kind of led to one of those "oh yeah, that makes sense" kind of moments. glad you liked the video!
woltersworld
Awesome. :-)
Wolters World but the US troops were also stationed alongside beautiful Neckar river valley... theres Ludwigsburg, Heidelberg etc. The Main river valley too.
I had a great time in Bayern this summer, and I think you are spot on on the things to love. The positives far outweigh the negatives. I'm glad you mentioned the Bayern-Ticket, as it is a really excellent value that everybody should take advantage of (you can even take the train to Salzburg as well for no extra charge!).
+Ari M. I know that Bayern ticket was a life/wallet saver on more than one occasion :)
FIRST!!!! ;)
+woltersworld damn
+woltersworld hahahahah, brilliant!
+woltersworld Du Scherzkeks! ;)
Honesty, I really do like your videos. And I'm from Bavaria.
But did you ever notice that the people from (old-)Bavaria are just like the people from Austria?
Honestly!
+woltersworld judging from the pictures, I think you've been drinking too much beer and eating too many bratwursts...
Haha
I gained 10 pounds in Bavaria. I loooooooooooove Bavaria!
Yes... I really want to go to Oberammergau and see the Passion play sometime. Don't forget that taking a 2 hour train ride from Munich will get people to Salzburg. We did this in January 2016 and talk about gorgeous! The snow all over and the view from the Hohensalzburg castle was incredible. Oh, and you've made me want to visit Bamberg!
My Dad worked for Lufthansa since 1961...And I was Lucky to Have Known Germany and Europe...
Bavaria is simply amazing. I love it dearly and this video sums it up so well, nice work mate
I really love your videos and enthusiasm, thanks for this!
I used to live in Augsburg during my days in the Army. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Bavaria. I had the advantage of being able to travel throughout Bavaria at my leisure so I was able to take my time visiting this beautiful region of Germany. The beauty of this area is beyond description.
Thank You; LOVE your enthusiasm and inside info!
Hey, I stumbled across your channel 20 minutes ago and I have to say: very good stuff!;) I really like that you talk about those stereotypes and introduce people to modern (and old) Germany and I find that videos like yours are the best choice to deal with the typical stereotypes everyone has about certain countries!
Keep it up and Happy New Year!
P.S. I'm also from Germany and even I was surprised about some stuff :) very interesting.
This is so crazy. I'm living approximately 20 kilometers away from Bamberg and you're standing there taking about Germany :D But i really like your videos! It's very very interesting to experience another point of view of my homeland :)
Celine Lechner I visited Bamberg from Nuremberg and I stayed for few days in Barnadorf
me and my family lived just outside of nurnberg. we loved it there. hope to make a trip back there soon with my mom and sister.
just saw your video. it is realy great to hear you talking about my home 😂
i am from Bavaria. Close to Regensburg!
great fun 😉
cheers Tom
Same here! Scheena Gruaß aus Rengschbuag :-). In oam Fuim von eam siegt ma sogar d´schtoanane Bruck und d´Wurstkuchl in Rengschburg, - nur 100 Meter von meinem Elternhaus entfernt :-)
Passau and Dinkelsbuhl...Rothenburg...Allgau...I KNOW I've been there...❤❤🤗🤗
regensburg
I love your videos! As a jung (25) german from nuernberg it makes me feel humble to hear such nice things about my country and the local people here. And it’s funny to think about stereotypes or little things we take for granted and be aware of these things.
And your videos about the US are awesome too, I really want to visit the USA 👍
Mark,
I am very thankful that you and your family make these videos for us to watch. Your children are truly blessed that you and your wife invest so much to show them more than a book could every teach them. They are going grow up so well rounded. I grew up in Athens, GA. I am planning my first trip abroad for the summer of '17. I live in Alaska and this is the farthest from "home" but it still the U.S.... no we don't live in igloos.
Brandon
Damn bro wrote a whole speech and got no response.
Funny you mention Neuchwanstein - we went there last year, a lovely Friday afternoon in June (admittedly not July/August) and tried to sit down in a cafe for a coffee or beer just before 5 p.m. and were told politley but firmly that the cafe shut at 5 on the dot and was too late for a drink!
Greetings from Bamberg!😁 Didn't know our Rauchbier is that well-known in the world.
The trouble with Christmas time in the south of Germany and across in Austria is that so many things close early, or completely, for the holidays. It gets dark early and the Christmas decorations help, but there is so much less to do than the warmer months. Still had a great time when I returned after 35 years away a few years ago.
Hahahahahah the Mad king Ludwig thing made my night!!! thanks for the video bro
Your videos are great! Especially about Germany. You're right about many nice places to visit in Bavaria, enough to see for at least one month of travel.
Medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber is very popular for tourists that come by the busloads. Along the "Romantik Road" are other, less crowded towns, but also very interesting, such as Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen. What's great about Bavaria are the Gasthauses with wooden beams, wooden furniture, and nicely decorated on the inside. Some have been serving guests for centuries.
+Wally Kaspars so many great small towns :)
The best Drive from Augsburg to Zurich, Switerzland so much beauty. I love Barvaria a little Heaven on Earth.
When someone is in Niederbayern in Bavaria, of course, go to the beer garden in Ratzenhofen.
hihihi, Ami-Tourist würde gar nicht auffallen in Ratzenhofen! But the best beer gardens are always the ones in the little villages, THERE you get the good food!
My Oma is from Nuremberg, and she always told me how kind the Bavarians are and their food, oh my I love the food. Yes, my Oma does cook great German food, mainly for her and myself but I love it. Love your videos.
woltersworld is fantastic Just found you tonight and enjoying your passion and knowledge. :)
been here 3 years ago and loved it!!we went in month of April. willing to go again. been to Germany many times but not been able to go to that much places. I have all my in laws there!!
I watched some of your videos. They are great. You are so enthusiastic about Germany that it makes me want to discover my country. ;-) When you grow up here, you do not appreciate things like tourists do. But we should. It is really a nice country and I have to see more of it. I'm from Nürnberg and I love it. But I have to learn more about its history and I also should go more often to other bavarian cities. Thanks for reminding me.
that video just got me. i am currently spending my year abroad in France and can't wait to come back to good old bamberg and drink ten beers in a row!
glad you mentioned the people. thank you ;)
Berchtesgaden is my families hidden gem in Germany
Hi Mark! Love your videos. You often mention Bamberg and how much you love it; do you think you could do a video about must-dos and must-sees in Bamberg? I don't want to miss out on what you are loving about it!
I have a 5 love and hates and a top 10 sights in bamberg video so those are available
@@woltersworld Awesome, I'll check those out! Thanks ☺
omg I'm from bamberg! it's so cool to see all your videos from there
Another awesome video! Thanks Mark!
+Cam Fijan thank you for watching :)
Great location to film! It real makes me want to be there and see everything from the town wall.
love your channel Wolter!
My favourite holiday was to Bavaria
We stayed in a lovely little town in the foothills of the Alps called Ruhpolding...plenty of space in the beer gardens in May. I don't know how it would be a couple of months later though!
Yes - the food is VERY heavy but so tasty!
One of the most stunning places I've ever visited was the Königssee near Berchtesgaden.
+Susan Dailey haha, i love that i randomly read your comment, i am from Ruhpolding :)
(PS: thank god, you wrote that correctly, literally everyone living here writes it like "Rupholding" :P)
+dylan o'crien really? lol :D You're so lucky living in Ruhpolding, I'd love to go back some day. :)
i live in the berchtesgadener land too and its absolutely beautiful! i love growing up here, it's really underrated.
+Susan Dailey Can you stay at hotels in Konisgsee or is it just unspoilt wilderness? I wanted to go there but couldn't fit it into my schedule. Thanks.
When we went there we were on a day trip, so we didn't stay locally. I'd guess Berchtesgaden would be a good place to stay if you wanted to see it, it's not far away!
Bamberg my city 😍❤️🇩🇪
Glad you made this video. I really want to find out about Bavaria before I leave on my trip. And yes I'll be seeing more of Bavaria than just Munich. I'll also be going to Nuremberg during that time.
+erickofspirit I would recommend to visit a city with a history of glass-blowers. (I especialy would recommend Bodenmais (Joska Kristall Glas Glashütte))
Thank you so much!!!!!! I am English, but live in Dusseldorf, I have never been there!!! Thanks for the video!!!! VERY HELPFULL!!!
+AkubraBromptonGirl it is worth checking out
You have also to visit Passau, the city with three rivers. Beautifull historical city
I haven't traveled much but intend to change that, but according to pictures and videos it looks like the most beautiful place on the planet. A fairytale land. The stuff dreams are made of. I want to fly from Seattle to hamburg and rent a station wagon and drive to Munich.
Another disadvantage might be the language barrier. I hear that many people in that part of Germany don't speak the standard High German. I have also heard that it can be hard to find people who speak English in some of the smaller towns. Next year, I hope to go to the town of Oberstdorf, so hopefully I'll be able to get around with my limited German.
+godsmacks1000 thats kind of true. but the younger people normally do speak englisch and also are able to speak high german - if they want to :D
+godsmacks1000 hmm, for us it's very important to learn proper english, so all the young people speak it quite well :) but if you are not in school anymore and you get easily out of practice, so older people are not thaaaat good in speaking english.
But i guess a problem in Bavaria is the accent. We all roll the r for example and a lot of us can't pronounce the "th". That might be weird for you, to hear us talking with a strong accent.
Because of the globalisation the accents in Bavaria are dying out pretty fast.
If you go to Bavaria you will usually only have a hard time on smaller villages in some parts of bavaria :)
Commander_Pro that's so sad actually, our teachers made us speak normal english and a lot of us just lost their accent. I just love the bavarian accent and it's part of my life so i love living on the countryside where most of people still have it :)
dylan o'crien same here :)
Lol you make me so proud of being bavarian! And I am even half-American, too! Great videos, i´ve been enjoying all of them so far!
Hey :)
I'm from Bramberg :)
Good video, thank you :)
Go to the countyside the small villages and enjoy the nature there. There are restaurants also 😉
I really like Bavaria until I visited Thuringia. My daughter lives in Meiningen and when I came over there to visit, I simply fell in love with this city.
Hello Wolter, how are you doing? Nice comparison, that Bayern/Bavaria would be the Germans' Florida - before I rather had seen it matching to Aspen/Colorado👍 You also may recommend Herrenchiemsee, Linderhof, Bodensee, Zugspitze, Obersalzberg and Eagle's Nest. Passau or Landshut, worth to be seen. Frankonia has good beer. Also the area "Bayrischer Wald" or "Allgäu" are great places, as well all the lakes, Forgensee, Ammersee, Starnberger See, not to forget Königssee, or the awesome scenery around Tegernsee. If the food seems to be too heavy, try to have a non-alcoholic beer with some radish, besides that there are good stews, vegetable soups and other foodstuff besides sausage: red cabbage with a variety of game -well prepared, it's quite delicious. There are trouts. If you go to Königssee lake, have a try in Saint Bartholomew, near the chapel, smoked savelinus (German "Saibling") is served, a salmon-like fish, fresh from the cold lake. Thank you for your high estimation of Bavaria. The natives also do so, they have a saying: "It's nice to be a Price (Bavarian denomination for a Prussian), but there is nothing higher than to be a Bayer".
When it says you should bring Tummy Trouble Medicine, there's a very traditional Bavarian way to deal with this issue:
Drink a Glass of Schnaps or two to stir up all the food in your belly and you're all good to go ;D
When I was a kid, we were based in a small town called Werl. There were Americans down the road, as well as Belgians to the side of our patch. Our primary school was literally across the road, but secondary school was in Dortmund. It is tragic that despite living for 4 years in Germany the only thing I saw was the Mohnesee Dam and a few fun parks like Stuckenbruck and Fantasia Land. At that time, primary schools didn't do languages, so I only got a bit of German at high school before returning to Scotland. My parents didn't drive, and not once took us on a train or tram anywhere. It was either the school youth-club trips or Scouts that I got to see anything at all.
I need to go to Bavaria!!!! It is a big part of my family, my last name is Bavarian. I also need to go to Ireland and that area because my mom is a Osborne.
You won´t regret it! Greetings from Regensburg, Bavaria :-)
True, there's lot to explore in the Bavaria region
I've never heard of this place. Thanks for the knowledge.
+tsuyayaka1 glad we can help! :)
I'm proud of beeing born in Bamberg and living there 💕 Sounds weard, but after every vacation I'm happy to see my beautyful home town 😍
Also Passau is a really nice place to visit.
I agree about the beautiful small towns. We stayed in Thallmaesing. I probably spelled it wrong. It was wonderful and inexpensive. I could have stayed a week and not have gotten bored. The local restaurants were reasonably priced and exceptionally good. There were two museums, and everyone was so friendly. I can imagine many more towns like this to explore. Munich was definitely a blast though,
+Brian Merz 100% agree :)
If you didn't book in advance it usually helps to try the villages three to five miles outside tourist central. Many Gastwirtschaften have Fremdenzimmer (= guestrooms) for very low prices. And if you want to stay in tourist central usually the tourist office can help you out with bed and breakfast on short notice. The only exception if there is a major fair like the CeBit in Hannover or of course major events like the Oktoberfest in Munich, then you might have to plan for an extra hour on public transport in and out of tourist central with public transport to and from your hotel or bed and breakfast "Landgasthof mit Fremdenzimmer".
Have you gone up to Würzburg yet? One of my favorites too!
I've just come back from Bavaria and you're right...I want to go back and see Bamberg and Regensberg....
Having seen Munich, Berlin, Fussen and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, I was really looking forward to Nuremberg. I was left so disappointed. It seemed like a very grotty city with nothing to do other than a few history tours. Munich remains my favourite and I loved Berlin. You're right about Bayern having so much wondrous nature on offer.
Thanks for your videos - they have inspired me to go to Germany 3 times last year and I so want to go again!! :) :)
Regensburg will be at least disappointing like Nurnberg (... depending what you are expecting)
Except nice deal though is walkability. I ate whatever i wanted but lost weight bc we hiked and walked and biked everywhere. Loved it ❤
Good stuff Wolter....what a nice sympathic person you are.Greetings from Berlin.
Danke willy! Loved my time in Berlin.
+woltersworld I as bavarian have to say that I want to get out of here! I want to live in the US.
10.90 oh dear..i see liam there 😆
Thanks for all the tips mate and hello from Australia.
You did kind of touch on this, but Franks don't really consider Franken to be Bavaria. If you see someone in Lederhose in Bamberg they will almost definitely be from the south of Bavaria.
Also, the sausage kitchen by the old stone bridge over the Danube in Regensburg is medieval, built by the stone masons that built the bridge. Nothing to do with the Romans actually.
Just my personal opinion, but I much prefer the Sandkerwa in Bamberg to the Oktoberfest. Apart from being way less touristy and commercialised, the beer is far better.
No, hallo, the best beer is from the Tegernsee!!!
@@saski358 Servus! Das Tegernsee HB Bier ist auch ein lieblings Bier!
Sandkerwa in Bamberg ist meine meinung besser als Oktoberfest, nichts gegen Munchen!
did you go to Bayreuth too? its half an a hour Form Nürnberg an it has some nice Parks and opera houses.. the Wagner Festspiele take place thers
2/3 the way to that youtube silver play button. Congrats
i only had six days and managed to visit the top events in Munich, Nuremberg and fussing. one would need two weeks just to visit all the gems, must go back.
I'm from the the best part of bavaria (oberbayern) and I have to say there is no negative point about bavaria. It's the Nature, the Food, the Tradition, the System, everything is great here. You missed something when you do not visit bavaria. It's changing your thoughts about us, because there is no bad thing about bavaria. If you want to visit bavaria you have to travel around, on the autobahn or around the lakes, because we have much more than just Oktoberfest or Neuschwanstein. The small cities are the oldest and the best ones!!! Great Video I love your positive appereance and thoughts about us but as I mentioned, theres is no negative point, it's the best part of Germany (and the World).
Greetings from Bavaria.
Very nice Video!!!
But München is expensive, definitely! So as you say: check out and stay in smaller towns and go to München just for daytrips
Come and visit us in Bavaria. We'll you welcome warmly 😃🍻
You should check out the north part of germany - it may not look like bavaria but its sweet
Bring your own snack/food to the Biergarten, only buy the beer.
Thanks for take me on a ride to so many great places! When you come to Bremen I would like to offer you a free beer (a special one you only can order here in one pub). Dark and tasty,-)
Gute Reise...:))
+peter patzig danke peter! I used to date a girl from Bremen and have visited Bremen a few times. Always had fun.
+woltersworld / You have touched the knee of the donkey? 😊
(from the "stadtmusikanten")
Watching your vlog is really fun! All the best, tschüss :)
You should visit Karlsruhe, in the south of Germany. It´s great too and we have many, really many region food and stuff. I think you would like it :D
I'm Bavarian (Last name Wilt)! I look forward to going someday. Might as well, It's my heritage :)
Nice video about my home state. You mentioned Neuschwanstein. I'd highly advice against visiting Neuschwanstein, because there's not much to see inside. If you want to see a castle or some stuff like that, I'd reccomend "Schloss Herrenchiemsee" which is on an island on the biggest lake in Bavaria. And there's a real hate about bavaria. Almost all Stores are closed on sundays and after eight o'clock during the week
+thomas großmann i have to add: Never ever say "Tschüss" say "Auf wiederschaun" or "Servus" :D
+thomas großmann Why is that? I hear German's say Tschüss all the time when I visit. Or just not in Bayern?
Just not in Bavaria ;)
+Linus Wärn In Bavaria you also say ''Ade!'' (dialect; the traditional way) when you want to say goodbye. Just pronounce the ''e'' a bit longer. Otherwise people are saying Tschüss all over Germany. It dosn't matter if you are at the supermarket or in a Biergarten. At some working places you say ''Auf Wiedersehen'' to your customers, to be more polite and not as casual as saying ''Tschüss''. But today you even have workers at a shop like Vodafone or at some bank that say ''Tschüss'' (for bye) when you leave. So Germany is pretty casual if you take is at a whole.
But we in upper Bavaria (around munich) never say "Ade" i think this is more popular in sw bavaria (near to switzerland)
Bavaria is a great place, really fell in love with the mountains and the nature.
BTW When are you going to visit the Netherlands outside Amsterdam? We have great city's like Utrecht, Nijmegen, 's Hertogenbosch and Breda.
Not to mention The Veluwe
Off course, and don't forget de afsluitdijk and the waterkering
Love your videos, very interesting :) But I have to say... I've never met nastier people than in Munich. People are nice in the northern part of Bavaria though :)
die isarpreissn!!! ^^ people from munich aren't like the rest of bavaria.. they "stahdara" - big city folks.. everyone from a big city is kinda strange..
Hi Walter, awesome video of my country. Thanks. But there is something I have to niggle about. 'Tschüss' is German and NOT Baravian! Better use 'Servus'.
I was never allowed to say 'Tschüss' by my Mom, a proud Bavarian ... ;)
And, as I studied in Coburg, I know those Bamberges are a bit 'high nose' regarding this gem of Coburg. Best you visit Coburg without your Bamberg friends ;) and enjoy.
"Tschuess" is North German, originally from Hamburg." Im Hamburg sagt Mann Tschuess - dass meint auf wiedersehen…." as the song goes.
Walter get a hair cut...haha. Bavaria is my favorite place to visit or live in Germany. I like your channel.
hey there,
so you love my Hometown Bamberg so much?
Did you also find some secret Spots of Bamberg like the Apple-Face and the "Samshaus"
And did you also moved a bit out of bamberg and had a look on some old castles and palaces
like Schloss Seehof?
Thank you wolters world when your poor like me its cool to be able to watch your vids and kinda experince from a 3rd person view ,cant wait till u get 1 million subs and hopfully one day i will be able to go to my home countrys like ireland and england ,much love from Florida
+Jeb Hampton Hi Jeb, if your up for it, get yourself an ex army tent and mess kit, grab a low cost flight to Dublin, use the bus to the west coast, there are lots of camping sites all over Ireland and England, if your going to visit England, consider Dorset, beautiful place!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greetings from Dublin!!!!!!!!
+Jeb Hampton I am really glad I can show you some of the places in the world. I hope one day we can have a beer together randomly bumping into each other in Ireland on your trip to Ireland one day. all the best and thank you for the support!
+woltersworld so ging es mir auch, ich finde auch den königsee einen der schönsten naturplätze in bayern....aber es gibt noch viel mehr.....die alpen, die vielen seen, die dörfer......!!!!!
would you sometimes do some new videos about Cologne and the area around?
I'm so happy I found you talking about Bamberg. I went to Nuremberg this week and while being there I knew I had to buy Bayern Ticket (thanks to listening to your videos) and go to a hidden gem called Bamberg (again, thanks to your videos) and now I'm completely in love with this little cute town. I really want to go back there and have more of Rauchbier and see the beautiful architecture of this place as it reveals more and more of old buildings as you progress through the town. Thank you for that :)
In two years, we want to visit Eastern Europe! So thanks for the tips! Want to finish in Vienna and make our way, with a car rental, to Munich. I'm going right now on your channel to see if you have anything on Krakow, Prague, Budapest and Vienna. Love your vids!
We have top 10 and 5 love and hates for Prague Vienna and Budapest. sadly nothing g on Krakow but Krakow is awesome too. have a great trip! (it's Mark from his personal account)
+Mark Wolters Thanks! I just finished watching all your videos on central Europe. Very usefull as always!
+Stephanie Caza glad we could help with your planning :)
+Stephanie Caza Ive been to Prague Vienna and Budapest Enjoyed Prague the best Czech republic rocks
+Stephanie Caza Would also consider going to Slovenia not to be confused with Slovakia
I’m very lucky having German relatives who live in Rosenheim in Southern Bavaria and I had the privilege of having many beautiful holidays in Bavaria and also visiting my many relatives and seeing the real Bavaria from their prospective.
1. Find a gasthaus in one of the villages outside Augsburg; the smaller the gasthaus, the better.. 2. Don't sit at the stammtisch table. 3. Eat and enjoy some real home cooked Bavarian food you will find. Many of the villages outside of Augsburg have been there for over 2 Thousand years. Augsburg was founded by Augustus Caesar.
Awesome! Danke schön!!
In Augsburg there is no US Military anymore since the 16th of June 1998. although there are still many bases around the country. in the time span from 2006 to 2016 alone the number of US soldiers in germany decreased by about 50% from 72.416 to 35.800 soldiers. (fyi: there are also still 3.671 Brits, 594 French, 443 Dutch, 148 Belgian and 107 Canadian soldiers still here (or at least until 2016, which are the most recent numbers i found)).
But there are still plenty bases here in Germany - Most of them used for US Missions in the middle east like the Ramstein Airbase with one of the biggest US military hospitals outside the US. Ramstein is also the Headquaters for many NATO-related activities, AFRICOM and AIRCOM. you can look at a list (in german only unfortunately) here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausl%C3%A4ndische_Milit%C3%A4rbasen_in_Deutschland#Regionale_Auflistung
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramstein_Air_Base
Mister Gunsen thank you for the information,.
Ich komm auch aus den Bamberg. Habt ihr mal den BK bei der Aral ausgeschleckt . I highly recommend that place, dear Wolter. Burger King at aral Berliner Ring . Straight next to it you’ll have a gorgeous sandwich at Gramms backshop
Passau, Chiemsee, Ingolstadt, Bayeuth, Mittenwald, Murnau, Landsberg am Lech, etc. Bavaria rocks !!!
this guy is awesome, would love to have a rauchbier with him some day
Bayern ist meine liebste Bundesstat! Besonders habe ich gern ist Allgaü wie südmeistens Gebiet Deutschlands sein!
Nikolaos Peterson southernmost = südlichstes
Munich and Rothenburg are probably two of the most touristy cities in Germany, especially in July-Sept. Unless you like overcrowding I would avoid them at these times, many other beautiful places to visit in Summer. I've been to Munich in January but wouldn't recommend it, never been so cold in my life - lol
Ottobeuren is one of my favourite places in the world and is a Michelin 3 star. Why no mention?
I attended Oktoberfest from India a year ago and it was good . We enjoyed the food and desserts . Then went To Nuremberg then to Roth and Bamberg . Ich liebe Deutschland
Ludwig II. wasn't mad, he was fabulous.
He was just declared insane to dethrone him.
Sebastian Mustermann They did the same to "Juana la Loca" in Spain, all about domination, seizing power and control over relatively nice people, unfortunately.
Just cause I'm curious: Have you ever been to Saxony? Especially Dresden and surroundings?
you should get out of upper bavaria too, i mean yes it's beatiful, but (for example)lower Franconia is beautiful too and its completly different as upper or lower bavaria.
Bavaria is on my list for my next visit to Germany.
+sofakingdrunk66 it is well worth it
