For all fans of the Olympics and people interested in the very special construction of the Olympic tent of 1972, I may recommend to search for this "Briefmarkenblock Olympiade 1972" - a combination of several stamps inside a "miniature-sheet" I bought mine in 1972, but I have still seen them recently in the shops in Munich and elsewhere. It will depend, as it is a collectors item, but 5-8 Euro should be enough.
This is a shop close to Viktualienmarkt, opposite the Bratwurstherzerl-restaurant Well, poor angel Aloisius, still in heaven, with his wings, singing not "Halleluja" like any ordinary angel - but in his best Bavarian he screams " Luhja sog i !! "and nobody understands him...He might make a great souvenir as an apron for someone, knowing the story of Aloisius and enough Bavarian to understand the nice kind of humor behind it About 21 euro for this apron...
You mainly will be able topurchase them at Oktoberfest or other festivities all over Bavaria.A "Lebkuchenherz" with a traditional or more modern inscription always makes a great souvenir ! Get a gingerbread for your wife & Gf.You may sometimes see ladies of Bavaria walking home with their drunk husband / friend......BUT at least they got a gingerbread-heart with the inscription " I love you " 10 euro and more, depending on the size
Beer-mugs make a great traditional bavarian souvenir.In the old times it was used to carry home some beer from the local inn, and of course it looks better to carry it inside a fancy mug with a top, so flies and bees stay outside.The biggest choice you certainly will have in Munich, you may even get them in departmentstores like Karstadt and Hertie. If you have enough time, watch out for the prices, as they differ a lot !! from 10 - 200 euros anything is possible, according to the size and equipment, as some have silver or tin-covers
In Ettal you may get a big variety of different beers and liquors, all made after traditional recepees.Many shops also offer souvenirs like plates, beer-mats and saucers, beerglasses etc. Have a look around througfh the different shops first, before you buy anything - prices are quite different.
Käthe Wohlfahrt is a Christmas-shop open all year long. Normally such a type of shop would not have any chance in Europe, except in a touristy place like Rothenburg. All kinds of Christmas-articles - and they will also be shipped any place in the world. Quite expensive, but who cares about the price of a christmas-present at eastertime ?? ;-)
This shop I took the pic of is in Ettal, near to the famous monastery. People told me, that beer and liqueur are great there!
Mittenwald is famous for its violins. there is a lot of wood in the region, so people began to make violins. I didn't buy one, I can't play. ;-)
To say the truth: I don't like these traditional clothes. But when being in Bavaria, lots of people wear them. Living more int hte middle or in the north, people wear much less this kind of clothes

A: If I understand correctly, Bayern Takt describes a system of schedules and connections, not a ticket. You probably mean Bayern-Ticket which is indeed valid for up to 5...
