Bayern Region What to Expect

Outside of Regensburg is the Pullman City. A cool and very simular Wild West City/Park. Cool to stay there for 1 or 2 nights. Good food and special things to do. Goldwash, Pony-rinding for children, linedancing and more..

go with a buddy, not really a group or with kids

Don't go during Oktoberfest. Yes, it is fun, but once you've seen a big fair-type atmosphere with rides for the kids and booth after booth of souveniers, food, coffee, etc., you get the idea of what Oktoberfest is really all about.
Also during Oktoberfest hotels triple -- yes triple -- in prices. We paid 300 Euro per night for a regular $80 US a night room. After Oktoberfest that same room was 65 Euro per night.
Love, love, MUNICH. It is absolutely fabulous and beautiful everywhere you go.

A beautiful small village in the outer suberbs of Augsburg, Germany. A great place to bring up children and get a taste for the country life only 10 minutes away from the city!

If you are in Munich and are looking for a place to eat you have to go to Prinz Mishkin. Outstanding taste of food. However remember it's vegetarian!

Watch out! Restaurants and Cafes in Munich close as early as 6pm and usually around 7pm! Whats left open are the Beer Halls (large pubs/bars)!

Munich is a beautiful city, especially if it's spring- or summertime. Then, of course, it's time to visit some of the numerous beer gardens of Munich. I can especially recommend the ones at the Wiener Platz in Haidhausen, which belongs to the Hofbräukeller and the Max-Emanuel beer garden in the Adalbertstreet, very close to the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich. Both of them lie rather central and are easily accesible by public transport. Although they are located amidst of Munich, you will be able to experience a fantastic atmosphere there. They are like recreative oases in the jungle of a large city. Once you are inside the garden, you can enjoy your "Maß" of beer and every Bavarian delicacy you can imagine. Needless to say, that you can meet nice and friendly people there - not only from Bavaria - but also from all over the world to make friends with.

Go to The Englischer Garten and have a beer or two:-)

Dachau, like Auschwitz or Birkenau, is a sobering and saddening experience beyond compare ... Dachau, I think, was the first concentration camp ... conveniently close to Munchen ... it is smaller than many other camps built later but this is where it started ... as you enter its gates you are frozen with shock and the true import of the holocaust sinks into you ... the 'systematic' nature of the atrocities is what shocks most and Dachau is a prime example... how could humans possibly do this to each other while still being able to live and enjoy otherwise normal lives ... there is a wonderful essay by George Steiner that talks of a concert hall in Munchen where, at the time, people could be sitting and enjoying Mozart while, at the same time, screams of people being put on trains for Dachau could be heard there... something about human nature that can aspire to beauty and life in the thick of misery and death ... and there is Chomsky's argument too that human atrocity is inherent, nothing new in it by way of time or geography, almost every nation across history has inflicted the grossest barbarism on others ... and though the signs at the camp read 'never again' ... globally, things continue, with a variety of atrocities, not just physical or political but also economic and social ...

You have to try swimming in this extremely cold water!!!rebirthing experience! nevermind the temperature...

The "Titania" which is a really nice adventure swimming bath with water slides, sauna and much more. It is worth a visit!

My German home town. I lived here for 2 years and loved it!!!! It is a picture perfect postcard kind of a town. It has a castle, a park with a manor, a beautiful park downtown that in the spring is in full bloom with beautiful bright pink magnolia trees and looks like something out of a fairytale. This town is also in Bayern or Bavaria to us Americans so they do celebrate Oktoberfest and it is a ton of fun. They have a great Weihnacten or Christmas bazar at the castle as well as other great bazars throughout the year. The carnivals are awesome and the food even better. There are so many great places to eat in Aschaffenburg (maybe that's why I gained so much weight in Germany or was it the beer). Every town has there own local brew and Aschaffenburgs was great. They have one of the few indoor malls in Europe and it is pretty great let me tell you great shopping and you can even bring you dog along. You haven't laughed until you've seen a Great Dane on an escalator and an elevator!!!! The night life is great the clubs are awesome the cafe's are the best. There are many places to get great gelato. The shopping is first rate. You can walk everywhere!! Check out the Kebab stand nearest the exit from the park to the downtown shopping area. The hospital is great I've been there with severe dehydration. Overall I can't say enough great things about this town maybe I am biased but I have nothing bad to say about Aschaffenburg if I had the means I would buy a second house here and visit often I love it!!!! It snows at Christmas and is beautiful in the the Summertime. It is perfect clean and it's locals are friendly and consist of a lot of US military retirees!!! GO THERE ASAP!!!
