Upper Bavaria is presented as the epitome of all things Bavarian in
this travel guide, exploring its magnificent Alpine scenery as well
as ancient traditions and festivals where lederhosen and the dirndl
are worn with pride. Mountain chalets, their balconies a riot of
floral color, are captured in lush green pastures beneath the
snow-capped peaks of the Alps. The landscape is illustrated as
unique and extremely diverse, with its spectrum ranging from the
idyllic valley of the River Altmuhl with its gleaming white cliffs
and dark juniper forest to the open plains of the Danube. From the
fertile, hop-growing slopes of the Hallertau to the glacial moraine
of the lakes, the featured array of images culminates in the
majestic Alps and Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze.
Monasteries, churches, and chapels are depicted, bearing witness to
the strong faith of the local populace who proudly uphold the
region's many traditional pilgrimages and religious processions,
and the great historic significance of this part of the country is
manifested in sumptuous palaces and mighty fortresses. The state
capital of Munich is revealed as the converging point of history,
politics, science, art, and culture, and the city's many excellent
museums and art galleries are explored in detail. Additional
features comment on King Ludwig II, Bavarian beer and local
cuisine, the art of the Alpine avant-garde, and the colorful
processions and pageants preserved throughout the land.
