Question

What would be a good thing to do this weekend in Bavaria-besides Oktoberfest:)?

Answer 1

Go hiking or bicycling in the Alpine villages, like Garmisch- take advantage of the end of summer weather.

Answer 2

Neuschwanstein Castle is very beautiful. Worth a visit. That's the one Disney's Cinderella castle was modeled after.

Also, you could visit Munich's zoo, it is huge and very beautiful.

The previous answers (Andechs and Garmisch) are good too.

If you are into museums there is also a huge variety of different ones, i.e. art (Pinakothek) or technical (Deutsches Museum) cars (BMW Museum).

There is a new waterpark in Erding, right outside Munich. I have not been there yet, but it is supposed to be awesome.

Answer 3

Hi,

there are millions of things you can do in Bavaria and especially in Munich.

Depending on the weather you could visit Andechs, Neuschwanstein, Starnberger Lake, Dachau, Museums in Munich, Chiemsee, Castle Nymphenburg, etc.

You can find many Munich attractions here:

Answer 4

Besides "Oktoberfest" ?

Answer 5

Visiting Kloster Andechs (Andechs monastery), it's quite near Munich

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&ge...

and the monks up there brew a better kind of beer than the one that is served at the Oktoberfest. And you can almost be sure to get a seat in their "Wirtsstube" (guestroom), as most of the tourists are at the "Wiesn" ("the meadows") in Munich. Try an "Andechser Dunkel" ("Andechs dark beer") in a "Maßkrug" (1-liter-mug).

Don`t forget, it's a monestary. Once you've had your second "Maß", you start praying to the Lord and become a true believer.
