We recommend combining Munich and Berlin with a tour of Bavaria. And, since you are now just across the border to Salzburg, upon leaving Bavaria, you can merely cross the border into Salzburg - which is also a short trip from Munich.

Special Places

BERCHTESGARDEN is on the Austria/Germany border and is a place that truly deserves a visit. There are many tiny villages around Berchtesgarden that you should also plan to see. Another must-see in this area is the largest NATIONAL PARK in Germany - a stunning area. You can also visit the eagle's nest where Hitler used to spend time. FOTO PANORAMA GERMANIA. In other words, bring a camera.

KOENIGSEE (the Lake of Kings) is an intense blue color and in the shape of a fjord, surrounded by cliffhanging rock formations and extends for 8 kilometers. You must take a boat ride across the lake and a visit the baroque chapel and the hunting lodge of St. Bartholomew. In the background you can see the Watzmann Mountain. The top is one of the highest peaks and is known to be one of the most dangerous climbs of the Alps.

MARKTSCHELLENBERG - mountain resort at the foot of the UNTERBERG mountain - the subject of many legends. The main attraction is the ice grotto - the tour lasts at least three hours!! It is the most famous grotto in Germany. From the waterfalls there are many possible nature walks and hikes through the woods overlooking the village. We recommend the KUEGELMUEHLE restaurant at the foot of the mountain.

THE CASTLES...

The Bavarian region was divided into many small fiefdoms and counties, which gave it the title of "Land of the castles." In fact, there are more than one hundred castles and almost all of them offer guided tours every hour.

• Schloss Herrenchiemsee is a castle built on an island in the Chiemsee lake. Ludwig II, King of Bavaria, built it to copy the grand Chateau of Versailles outside Paris.
• Schloss Linderhof in Ettal was another whim of King Ludwig (who was quite mad about castles). It is smaller than others he built but no less pompous or grand. It is set amidst the Bavarian forests of Oberammergau (where the Passion play is done). From the bedroom Ludwig could see the artifical falls - the focal point of the garden. The kitsch "Grotto of Venus" with artificial stalagtites is worth visiting.
• Burghausen is on the border of Austria and is the longest castle in Europe. The town of Burghausen extends for a kilometer and encloses a small town or hamlet, which was so solid that it was able to resist every kind of outside incursion. The Castle as you see it today dates from 1200. Under impending threat from the enemy, Four thousand workers constructed this fortress, which kept the population safe during the Thirty Year's war. At the foot of Burghausen lies a charming hamlet with pastel colored houses that are typical of Bavaria.
• Burg Traunitz lies among these hills and is known for its staircase. Also, It is known because King George II published the official rules for making beer.

• Schloss Neuschwanstein without a doubt the most famous castle in Bavaria. This castle was also built by Ludwig II, and it dates from the middle of the 19th century. It is located on the River Altmuhl, and you can enjoy a magnificent view from the riverside while from the courtyard you can see an incredible panorama of the Altmuhltal, one of the finest valleys of Germany. The amazing mix of styles of this castles make it an outstanding structure and create an unreal and romantic impression. Even its location (high on a mountainpeak in the middle of the green forests) contributed to its nickname of "The castle of the fairy tales." In fact, Disney used it as its base for the castle in Disney Land.
