Bayern (that is Bavaria) :)

[andreios]

A bit of a last minute question here - I know there are a couple of people round here from Germany. We are heading for a week-long break in Southern Bavaria (near Traunstein, Oberbayern). I've been passing through those parts a couple of time - which is the reason why we decided on this location - but I don't know the country round there thoroughly. Could anyone point some spots, locations, or otherwise interesting bits to visit and to take pictures of, I'd be very thankful. I'm interested in both landscapes and "human-scapes"...
Vielen Dank und MfG

I have been in Bavaria many times, and will be there in August.
I usually stay close to Ichenhausen, and drive to Salzburg (Austria) and Northen Italy, across the Alps.

Bavaria has hundreds of wonderful, small villages spread around. I would try an online search with virtual tourist.

Thanks for the tips! Now I'm off to meditate over the choice of cameras to take with me
