Germany is one of the countries that surprises me the most. Although it does not seem very touristic, it is a very touristic and versatile country. The track connects more than 70 cities and towns, from Würzburg to Füssen, known as the “Romantic Road”, and from Hanau to Bremen, one of Germany’s oldest dream routes, known as the “Fairytale Road”; Although it is remembered as the most important tourism region, I think the region, which starts from the south of Bavaria and is located between the German Alps and the Austrian Alps, is at the top of the “List of 100 Places to See Before You Die”. The State of Bavaria, Germany’s largest and oldest state, is one of the 16 states in the Federal Republic of Germany. With its history of over 1000 years, Bavaria’s cultural heritage is still very much alive today, and this has affected both Bavaria and the people living here. Although Bavaria is a unique state and cannot be confused with other states, it cannot be considered separately from the German and European history and culture with which it has the same roots. Bavaria, called Bayern in German and Bavaria in English, covering the entire southeast of Germany, is the largest state of Germany. The capital of Bavaria, Germany’s largest state by area, is Munich. Munich, which also hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, is also one of the cities with the busiest air traffic in continental Europe in terms of flight traffic. Lufthansa, a German airline, operates its intercontinental flights mostly from Munich along with Frankfurt. Other important cities of Bavaria are Nuremberg, Augsburg, Regensburg; They are all beautiful, fairytale-like cities. Each of these cities, which are an important starting point for both the Romantic Road, the Fairytale Road and the journeys to the Alps, holds an important place in the history of Germans. Those living in the northern cities of the country can never understand the Bavarians’ language, which has an obscure dialect called Bayrisch. In fact, the Bavarians are always despised by the Northern Germans and described as rural people. Although Northern Germans say this, this is also the richest state in Germany. Although the rate of people engaged in agriculture is higher here than in other regions of the country, the industry and especially the pharmaceutical sector are also most developed in this state. The welfare level is very high in this state, which is also the center of world giant companies such as BMW, Audi, Siemens, Allianz, Puma, Adidas and MAN. Before Austria became an independent state; It borders the states of Baden Württemberg in the west, Hesse in the northwest, Thuringia in the north, and Saxony in the northeast; It was also affiliated with this state, which borders the Czech Republic in the northeast, Austria in the southeast, and Switzerland in the south. In the Federal Republic of Germany, each state is responsible for preparing and implementing its own education policy. As a result of comparative research conducted regularly every year; Bavaria appears to have one of the best education systems in Germany. Founded as a duchy in 589, Catholic Bavaria, located in the southeast of Germany, became an autonomous kingdom affiliated to the German Confederation and later to the German Empire as of 1806. The kingdom was ruled by the Wittelsbach dynasty. This kingdom continued to exist until 1918. In 1919, it became the Weimar Republic and after 1945, it became a state of the Federal Republic of Germany. As the third largest city in Germany after Munich, Berlin and Hamburg, and the capital of the State of Bavaria, it also hosts a federated parliament. The reason why there is a priest in the coat of arms of the State of Bavaria is because the word Munich means “Place of Monks”. Positioned as the land of beer and fairy tales, Bavaria is also known as Germany’s Lake District. Tegernsee, Schilersee and Chimsee, located 45-50 km south of Munich, not only present the magnificent nature to the travelers who come here, but also ensure that a dreamlike trip will be unforgettable throughout your life. Zugspitze, the highest point in Germany, is also here. It covers Bavaria, Oberbayern, Niederbayern, Schwaben regions. Every year, millions of tourists flock to the October Beer Festival, known as Oktoberfest, which is an event that lasts for almost two weeks, from the last week of September to the first Sunday of October, in a large area known as Theresienwiese, located right behind the Munich train station. . In order to avoid any problems during these periods when 6 million tourists visit, I recommend that those who are going to arrange their accommodation in advance. It is known that beer lovers are especially fond of German Beers. In Bavaria, which is considered the heart of German Beers with the taste of liquid bread devoid of chemicals, you should especially visit the central breweries of Augustiner, Hof Brauhaus, Erdinger and Paulaner beers in Munich and watch the extraordinary efforts of the waiters, who serve in traditional Bavarian clothes, to prepare beer for the guests. You should definitely see it. The center of Munich is Marienplatz. The show of Bavarian figures, which is located in the tower of the Rathaus (City Hall) building here and emerges from the clock slot every day at 12:00, leaves pleasant memories in the audience. The exterior of the building is legendary. The Rathaus Building, adorned with statues and figures of Bavarian heroes, is just one of the magnificent visuals in the heart of Munich. Visitors to this region will never be disappointed, no matter what season they go. Because Bavaria is a geographical feast that has different beauties in every season and turns into four hundred colors in four seasons. I think the German Alps, which we encounter especially when traveling south from Munich, are a geographical wonder of the world. Tegernsee, lake in the Bavarian Alps, 50 km south of Southern Bavaria. It is among the lakes with the cleanest water in Bavaria. The settlements around the lake are as follows; They are Tegernsee, Gmund, Rottach-Egern, Kreuth and Bad Wiessee. The people of the region largely earn their living from tourism. Tegernsee, which also has many luxury hotels, is a German Alps village that is very famous for its beer. Especially Braustüberl, located in the old village center of Tegernsee, is a brewery that is flocked to by beer lovers from all over the world. In Braustüberl, which also hosts a large beer hall on the ground floor, Bavarians love to eat beer and tapas called Pretzels and Obadza, consisting of cheese, radishes and onions. Although it is very easy to reach by train from Munich Airport, I highly recommend renting a car to visit all the Alpine villages in the region. While you are in Tegernsee, it is a must to visit Rottach-Egern in the German Alps, where luxury and wealth reach their peak. You can travel to the top of the German Alps in every season with the cable car departing from here, and you can add color to your romantic getaways by renting a boat on Lake Tegernsee or by taking scheduled tour boats. Considering that the region that is the subject of this article is located on the Austrian border, you can easily reach the Austrian town of Kufstein by following the village roads without getting on the main roads. You reach Bayrischzell via Schliersee, another paradise located about 10 km east of the Tegernsee lake. When you turn the steering wheel towards the Alps from the divided road, you reach the Austrian border through a magnificent forest road. Kuffstein, a city in the Tyrol region of Austria, borders the German State of Bavaria. The first town after Kufstein is Kiefersfelden, Germany. The City of Kufstein is located in the Lower Inn Valley and Lower Tyrol region and includes a magnificent and large castle. Bavaria, with its unique romantic structure in summer, spring and winter; It is a magnificent route between dreams and reality that should be included in the travel plans of people who have made traveling a part of their lives and are happy to explore.
