    The southernmost region of Germany is part of the northern Alps, a mountainous area ranging from hills to mountains. The highest mountain in Germany is the "Zugspitze", the top of which is 2962 meters or 9717 feet above sea level.
    Stepping out at the top of the cable railway you will find the weather station of the Zugspitze and of course, some restaurants offering you the opportunity to sit down for a moment and enjoy a meal and a drink.
    If the weather is good you will have a wonderful view of the mountains and peaks of the Bavarian and the Austrian Alps.
    It is a walker's paradise in this beautiful mountainous region, with walks along valleys , over plateaus and to the summits.
    On the green slopes and mountain pastures cows can be seen grazing during the summer and they seem oblivious to the nature lovers passing by.

    Cows have the Right-of-Way

    The cows are coming home!
    by lareina
    In Garmisch-Partenkirchen it isn't surprising to see traffic stopped for cows going down the road. Their bells will be clanging as they loaf down the narrow roads. The farmers, on foot or bicycle, lead them back from the pastures at the end of the day to their barns. The cows seem to know the paths so well that they could probably go it alone! It is a fun sight to see and a great photo op, but remember the cows have the right of way!

    Bayern is a mainly Catholic Bundesland within Deutschland. They observe all the traditional Catholic holidays, plus the pan-German ones, too. This means that typically Bavaria is more conservative than the rest of Germany, especially in the rural areas where there has been less of an impact from immigration. Cities like Munich, which have seen people move in from other areas of Germany to work in the entertainment, television, software and light manufacturing industries are more cosmopolitan than the smaller towns and villages in Bayern.
