Kloster Ettal is a real jewel. I've had the chance to visit it last week and I was so amazed about it's beauty. I'd love to go back and spend more time there. Congratulations for this wonderful page.

Kloster Ettal is another great reason to tarry in this area of Upper Bavaria. I like the motto for the Ettaler Bier - probably after a couple of beers and the liqours, Heaven is really pretty close;-]

I only rushed through enroute to Switzerland, but was also fascinated by the Baroque splendor. Brilliant pictures and very informative text, thanks!

Great pictures. Love your montages. I did not get to see Ettal when I visited GErmany but I did manage to bring home some of that famous KlosterEttal liquoer. I occasionally found it here too back home in some of our liquor stores.

I never knew anything about Ettal--or even heard about it. Now, thanks to all your pictures and descriptions, I feel like I've been there.

I have seen the famous camera in action... and it's very important also the finger of whom pushes its button...
