Omschrijving

Upper Bavaria is presented as the epitome of all things Bavarian in this travel guide, exploring its magnificent Alpine scenery as well as ancient traditions and festivals where lederhosen and the dirndl are worn with pride. Mountain chalets, their balconies a riot of floral color, are captured in lush green pastures beneath the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. The landscape is illustrated as unique and extremely diverse, with its spectrum ranging from the idyllic valley of the River Altmühl with its gleaming white cliffs and dark juniper forest to the open plains of the Danube. From the fertile, hop-growing slopes of the Hallertau to the glacial moraine of the lakes, the featured array of images culminates in the majestic Alps and Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. Monasteries, churches, and chapels are depicted, bearing witness to the strong faith of the local populace who proudly uphold the region's many traditional pilgrimages and religious processions, and the great historic significance of this part of the country is manifested in sumptuous palaces and mighty fortresses. The state capital of Munich is revealed as the converging point of history, politics, science, art, and culture, and the city's many excellent museums and art galleries are explored in detail. Additional features comment on King Ludwig II, Bavarian beer and local cuisine, the art of the Alpine avant-garde, and the colorful processions and pageants preserved throughout the land.
