North of Nuremberg is Bamberg, an old imperial town that attracts with the Imperial Cathedral and Michaelsberg Monastery. East of Bamberg near the Fichtel Mountains is Bayreuth and its famous Wagner Opera Festival, which takes place every year from late July to August. To the east of Bavaria, bordering the Czech Republic is the Bavarian Forest which is an ideal region for relaxing and hiking. The very south of Bavaria is called Upper Bavaria. This region is the most visited in Germany and has the best-known places including Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Berchtesgaden, and Füssen with the fairytale building Neuschwanstein Castle. The western part of Bavaria is Swabia and the Allgäu. Augsburg, northwest of Munich was founded by the Romans and was home of the Fuggers, a famous medieval aristocratic family and great patrons of the arts. Don’t miss to visit the Cathedral, St Anna's Church and Mozart's House. |
