Grüß Gott in Bavaria!

Come to Bayern ...

Bayern is said to be pure inspiration and attitude towards life. Of course you will always find white-blue-colored skies - the Bavarian flag's colors - and cristal clear lakes, medieval small towns and vibrant metropolises, tradition and hospitality, tangy wine and fresh beer, mystic woods and snow-covered peaks, mountain-biking and sleigh rides, outdoor-action and recovery. Any time of year. And of course, all of us always wear dirndl and leather trousers, drink beer out of big steins and and all of us always eat lots of meat and sausages. Ah, I forgot ...of course we always and only listen to brass music.
Come to visit us in Bayern and find out for yourselves if this is the truth ;-) Or should we at least be just a common tribe with common customs?

... and you will be amazed!
