Bavaria is the richest of all Federal countries
in Germany and for my opinion also the most beautiful. The countryside
presents picturesque landscapes from plains over highlands up to high mountains
- the alps. Moreover the houses in cities and villages are pretty nice
and often richly decorated with carved wood and in several regions like
around Mittenwald even with marvellous paintings (see below).
Numerous tourist attractions as well as charming vacation spots and
resorts offer entertainment, relaxation and a multitude of leisure activities,
such as mountaineering, hiking, skiing, and make the country a favourite
destination for holidaymakers from around the world in every season.
The most renowned sight in Bavaria certainly is
the castle Neuschwanstein, the fairytale castle, built by king Ludwig II
from 1869 to 1880.
The capital of Bavaria is Munich.
The city is also the venue of famous "Oktoberfest"
(October Festival), which takes place every year at the "Wiesn" and is
one of the largest festivals in the world. It is above all a celebration
of beer but offers all kinds of entertainments including circus, festive
parades and live brass bands.
