Travel and Visit Bavaria in Germany
by Peter Wilson
Bavaria is Germany's largest state and is located in the
southern region of the country. There are resorts, hotels and
private rentals located throughout the state. The first step is
to decide which areas you most want to visit and plan an
itinerary. Then you can begin to decide on accommodations. A
variety of choices are available from the more affordable hotels
to the more expensive resorts. Information on hotels and other
rentals can be found and reserved online.
BAVARIA HOTELS AND DINING
Bavaria is home to large cities such as Munich and many smaller
resort towns as well. There is a range of vacation and
accommodation opportunities around the state. Smaller resort
towns, such as Prien, are smaller than Munich, but still offer
plenty to do. Hotels, shops and restaurants are all in walking
distance from the train station. The same is true for Munich.
In many resorts, bus services are offered to and from the resort
to surrounding attractions. If you plan to stay in the resort
and use the bus service, you may not need to rent a vehicle
during your stay. If you want to branch out and explore more of
the surrounding areas of the region, or if you just want the
freedom to go on your own schedule, you may want to rent a car.
BAVARIA DINING
There are thousands of restaurants throughout Bavaria for
dining. Schweinsbraten is a common food in most places. This is
a pork roast with dumplings and gravy. Fresh fish, such as trout
and salmon are common foods in the area and are served in most
restaurants. Bavaria is home to many beer halls that serve
traditional German cuisine with a variety of local beers.
Sightseeing in Bavaria
Bavaria is home to a few castles you can explore. These were
built by King Ludwig II. The castle is ornate and resembles
Versailles in Paris. The castle and surrounding gardens are open
for touring. The areas around the Herrenchiemsee castle have
plenty of activities, such as swimming, fishing, hiking,
bicycling, boating and windsurfing.
Herrenchiemsee castle was intended to be a replica of
Versailles. It has manicured gardens, elaborate decorations and
a hall of mirrors. The original plan called for seventy rooms,
but it was never finished. There are twenty rooms in the
finished part of the castle. Ludwig was declared mentally unfit
to rule and was removed from the throne before his plans could
be carried out.
BAVARIA ATTRACTIONS
Bavarians Forest Zoo has over 300 native animals in natural
surroundings. You will see elks, bison, water birds, birds of
prey, owls, wild cats, deer, otters, badgers, cranes and fish in
the zoo. A main focus is on protecting endangered species,
research and preserving the natural habitat of the animals.
Bavaria is home to a wild west theme park. Pullman city is
located just north of Munich and has a typical American wild
west theme. The park features re-enactments of gun fights,
Indians and stage coaches. The main street area is complete with
plank sidewalks and clap board facades on replica buildings. It
is reminiscent of western towns commonly seen in the movies and
old western television series.
The park has activities like shooting galleries, music and
rodeos. There are re-enactments of the American Civil War at the
park. Guests are often seen dressed up in cowboy or Indian
costumes, both adults and children. Lodging at the park includes
hotels, log cabins and even teepees. This allows guests to
experience the wild west all day in the park and at night as
well.
