Bavaria & the Alps

Beer halls, baroque churches, mountain lakes and a mad king's castles.

Bavaria & the Alps is the 2 destinations below, not a boundary — this atlas holds which places belong to a region and deliberately not a line round them. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. Open Germany on the full map →

Places to see

Everything recorded across Bavaria & the Alps, in one list.

Englischer Garten

Larger than Central Park, with a standing wave on the Eisbach where surfers queue in wetsuits all year, and beer gardens under chestnut trees at the far end.

Munich · Park

The Residenz

The Wittelsbach city palace: ten courtyards, 130 rooms open, and a treasury holding crowns from the tenth century onward.

Munich · Castle

Things to do

A beer garden, done correctly

Buy the beer, bring the food, sit at the unmarked communal tables — the marked ones are for served customers and the distinction matters.

Munich · Food & table

The trumpet on the Königssee

The boatman stops mid-lake and plays into the cliff; the echo comes back a full phrase later.

Berchtesgaden · On the water

Accommodation & restaurants

EuropeDoor lists neither, yet. Both are business listings rather than editorial entries: they need an operator who claims them, a verification tier and a way to keep prices current, and all three are blocked on the same thing as everything else commercial here. How listings will work · what is built and what is blocked.

Publishing a scraped hotel list would be quick and would be the first unverified thing on this site. That is the trade being refused.

They belong to Germany rather than to Bavaria & the Alps, and repeating them on every region page is how two copies of a fact start disagreeing. Germany →
