Beer-mugs: A great traditional souvenir of Bavaria

    • Bavaria - beer-mugs make a great souvenir

    • Name of Shop: Beer-mugs

    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.

    What To Buy: If you have enough time, watch out for the prices, as they differ a lot !!

    What To Pay: from 10 - 200 euros anything is possible, according to the size and equipment, as some have silver or tin-covers

    • Bavaria - Lebkuchenherzen / Gingerbread
  • Lebkuchenherzen / Gingerbread
  • by globetrott

    • Name of Shop: Lebkuchenherzen / Gingerbread

    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 !

    What To Buy: 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 "

    What To Pay: 10 euro and more, depending on the size

    • Bavaria - Luhja sag i !!!
  • Luhja sag i !!!
  • by globetrott
  • Send Photo to a Friend
    • Name of Shop: Angel Aloisius

    This is a shop close to Viktualienmarkt, opposite the Bratwurstherzerl-restaurant

    What To Buy: 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

    What To Pay: About 21 euro for this apron...

    • Name of Shop: Käthe Wohlfahrt Weihnachtsdorf

    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.

    What To Buy: All kinds of Christmas-articles - and they will also be shipped any place in the world.

    What To Pay: Quite expensive, but who cares about the price of a christmas-present at eastertime ?? ;-)

    • Name of Shop: Olympiade- Briefmarkenbock

    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"

    What To Buy: I bought mine in 1972, but I have still seen them recently in the shops in Munich and elsewhere.

    What To Pay: It will depend, as it is a collectors item, but 5-8 Euro should be enough.

     Hey globetrott, great Bavaria page! I am planning to drive there this August and wondered how easy it is to drive on the Deutsche Alpenstrasse on a large SUV with a large caravan in tag.    		Kuznetsov_Sergey Tue Feb 6, 2007 12:55 UTC
     Fundamental page about one of my favorite lands in Germany! How lucky you were, Michael, when live there 10 years. Local customs are espesially good. When we saw lueftlmalerei it made my wife almost mad of delight! Fundamental work, useful and interesting
