Frühlingstrasse, Saturday morning

After days of rain, the sun finally appeared on Saturday morning. I decided to take advantage of the (temporarily) blue skies and do a bit of on-site research for a story I am writing. This old farmhouse in one of the oldest parts of Garmisch...

Prosit, Ludwig!

King Ludwig II, the still beloved Bavarian king who built Linderhof, Herrenchiemsee, and Neuschwanstein, was born on 25 August. He is still remembered in this region, and still worthy of a celebration. This evening, the Partenkirchen band marched...

Bierfest!

Of course, a beer fest has to have music, and plenty of bands were on hand to provide the proper music to accompany a liter of beer.

Bierfest!

There is much more to Bierfest time than Oktoberfest. Small towns throughout Bavaria celebrate their own beer festivals throughout summer and early fall. These three riders led more than 4000 members of local Trachtenverein (folk dress clubs) to...
