 Kloster Gößweinstein by elgin99
With the resolution of the Hochstift Bamberg at beginning of the 19th century, Gößweinstein was annexed to the kingdom Bavaria. The church to the "Heilige Dreifaltigkeit" is dominating far away in Gößweinstein. It is a work of the famous baroque master builder Balthasar Neumann.
Possibly around 1240 the first parish church was built in Gößweinstein. Still today numerous believers make a yearly pilgrimage to Gößweinstein. The small town counts as the most significant Trinity-place of pilgrimage in Germany. Leave a Comment

Created 1715, Rokoko, two palaces and nice trick fountains in historical area every full hour till 17th o´clock. (Not in late autumn or during winter time.)
During summer there are performances in an old ruin.
You can walk across for many hours, or have a rest in a good restaurant and another café.
The old trees are fascinating, also you will be exciting about the hedges and flowers.
The New Palace (Orangerie) is complete covered with many thousand of coloured glass stones. Fascinating in sunshine!
Some more pictures are in my travelogue.
Visit also the Old Palace (at time its under reconstruction), therein a funny fountain grotto. :)) Leave a Comment

 Eagle's Nest by Jehcekah
Your first stop is the museum and bunker system. David breezes you through the museum, only looking at Berchtesgaden-related information (you can use your ticket to come back again the next day to see the rest of the museum). Then you are led into part of the underground bunker system while he explains how and why they were built.
You then board a special Eagle's Nest bus which drives you up the 27% grade mountain to the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest). You walk through the tunnel and take the brass elevator up to the top. David shows you the inside of the haus, which is not open to anyone who isn't on a guided tour. The building is now a restaurant whose proceeds go to charity. The view from the top of the mountain is amazing and there are plenty of opportunities for great pictures. We were lucky enough to be there on the very first day of it's unseasonably early opening. There was still mounds of snow on the ground.
David's tour is the only licensed tour of the area, due to the fact that German's do not want to give Nazi sympathizers any pilgramiges to these sites. If you plan on going to the Eagle's Nest, you should take this tour. You will not be disappointed. The cost is 36,00 Euro per person and it includes all transportation and entrance fees.

 Basilica Vierzehnheiligen by elgin99
Two very beautiful and interesting sightseeings. One of them is Basilica Vierzehnheiligen, also a pilgimage place.
It´s the "most colorful" church I´ve seen. Light colors.
The Abbot of Langheim let built with the chapel 1457, the new building started 1743 by Balthasar Neumann, the famous architect in Bavaria.
A wonderful organ, impressive architecture, a special Basilica, indeed! It´s the church of the 14 Nothelfer (helper in need).
It´s a monastery (Franziskaner) also today.
Link is with viewer inside. Leave a Comment Address: StaffelsteinDirections: beside the road form Bamberg-Lichtenfels You see this Basilica on the hill from the far.Website: http://www.vierzehnheiligen.de/

 Christmas at Basilica
Waldsassen by elgin99
The Basilica was built in 1682-1704 by Dientzenhofer and Leuthner.
One of the most great baroque churches of Bavaria.
The crypt under the basilica counts as one of the biggest in Germany. The basilica is opened daily and all day of the year.
The Jann organ of the basilica is one of the biggest organs of Europe (103 Register). To hear her sound is a special event, on Sunday, or in one of the famous concerts (mostly sold out).
The former crypt for the Cistercian's monks under the basilica counts as one of the biggest monastery crypts of Germany and shows graves walls and indoor ways. She is accessible only to group guidances after advance reservation.
From Gefell you need by car only few more than an half of hour to Waldsassen. So I´m often there in Waldsassen, also in the area of the second church Kappel (another tip), which is only a few miles far from it.
And Holiday season without ine visit of Christmas market there or concert? No! Leave a Comment

 Munich/Nymphenburg palace -
Steinener Saal by globetrott
And of course Mozart had to play the piano in "Steinerner Saal", where lots of people could attend the performance of his music.
The diary of mother Mozart still exists and she listed there all the various palaces of Nymphenburg :
Amalienburg with the kitchen and bedrooms,
Badenburg with a big hall of mirrors
Bagotenburg the smallest of them
Eremitage - (obviously Magdalenenklause)
b.t.w. Nymphenburg is spelled differently in that diary :
"Ninfenburg" Leave a Comment Directions: The picture is a detail of Steinener Saal on 1st floor (USA: 2nd floor )of the palace !
