Clocks from Black Forest, sold in Bavaria

by globetrott

This sculpture that I saw in Schwangau may show you , what the sales-people of Black Forest-clocks looked like, when they carried their goods on the back from one farm to the other, also doing repairs of clocks.During the strong winters they built their clocks in the Black Forest, in summertime they sold them also in Bavaria and other parts of Germany.

"mad" King Ludwig still has lots of fans !!

by globetrott

Do not be surprised, to see "fans" of King Ludwig II still today at many places all over Bavaria.This is the entrance to a garage in Rottenbuch, close to the parking for the lovely church.For some people he had been mad and commited suicide in Berg / Starnberger See......for others he was a great king and killed by his enemies !

May-poles

by globetrott

May-poles are customary in Bavaria, but in many villages you may also see these ones, all year long.Mostly it shows signs of all the trades and professions that are available inside this village .Most of them have a trunk, painted in blue and white, the national colors of Bavaria.This one you may see in Schwangau, close to the ticket-office of the 2 famous castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau !

bring your own food is a tradition in beer gardens

by richiecdisc

Bringing your own food to beer gardens is a tradition though some places no longer allow it. Check ahead to see what the rules are but at any rate, the food is rarely very expensive and it is a great place to meet friends and enjoy the outdoors and a beer all in one go.

Erdinger

by Gili_S

Erdinger is the most famous Weizen beer from Bayern.It is exported worldwide and you can probably find it also available in your local beer store. It can comes as white beer, with yeast etc.My favourite is the Erdinger Dark (Dunkel)

Schwarze Perle

I am not sure how common this Schwarze Perle beer, I do not remember seeing it before, but in my last visit I did try it for the first time and found it nice and smooth.
