It went all too fast? You want the details? No problem.
Here are our recommendations in order of appearance:

00:08 Schwaigsee, Upper Bavaria
Just one example of the beautiful views over lakes and mountains of the Upper Bavaria and Allgäu regions.

00:10 Bratwursthäusle, Nuremberg
Nuremberg is famous for its small grilled sausages. They are usually served with mustard and sauerkraut. And delicious.

00:12 Klosterschenke Weltenburg, Kelheim
Of course: No trip through Bavaria without a stop at a beer garden. The one at the monastery in Weltenburg is especially pretty. Prost to the monks!

00:13 Altenauer Dorfwirt, Altenau
Bavarians love and live their traditions. If you are really lucky like us you end up sitting in the middle of leather trousers and accordions for a Bavarian concert.

00:15 Alte Utting, Munich
“Let’s take that old ship of the Ammersee and put it on a railway bridge!” These young Germans had balls – and are now owning the most unique bar complex in Bavarian’s capital.

00:19 Weißwurstäquator, Zwiesel
The “equator of the Weißwurst” (a typical Bavarian sausage) is a playful description for a (pseudo-)cultural border that separates parts of Bavaria from the rest of Germany.

00:23 Würzburger Residenz
The UNESCO world heritage site is said to be one of the world’s most impressive baroque castles and well, it is simply beautiful!

00:26 Schloss Neuschwanstein, Schwangau
This is it. THE fairy tale castle of all fairy tale castles. The blueprint of the Walt Disney Castle.

00:31 Fuggerei, Augsburg
The Fuggerei is the world’s oldest social housing complex. Woodbine makes it an especially pretty site in autumn.

00:32 Marienplatz, Munich
The main square of Munich, right in front of the very impressive city hall. Its glockenspiel is very famous. We find it totally overrated.

00:34 Malerwinkel, Königssee
Among all the German lakes-by-the-mountains, this is the most stunning one! You'll get the best view over Königssee from a lookout called painter's corner.

00:36 Pottenstein, Franconian Switzerland
We love the area around Pottenstein for its wicked towering rock formations. THE Instagram shot would be the half-timbered museum on top of a rock at Tüchersfeld.

00:38 Walhalla, Donaustauf
The impressive hall of fame honors distinguished people in German history with busts and memorial tablets. Later additions include Martin Luther and Sophie Scholl.

00:41 Zugspitze, Wetterstein Mountains
Germany’s highest mountain – and best views. Undoubtedly.

00:43 Markgräfliches Opernhaus, Bayreuth
This must be the most beautiful opera house we have ever visited! The baroque court theatre is also a UNESCO world heritage site.

00:45 Augsburger Puppenkiste, Augsburg
This quirky little museum is dedicated to the German version of The Muppet Show. Its modern fairy tales are famous nationwide.

00:47 Romantische Straße
The “romantic street” connects some of the most famous tourist destinations: Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Würzburg, Augsburg and Neuschwanstein Castle.

00:48 Gaststätte Röhrl, Eilsbrunn
They serve a delicious Pretzel-Schnitzel. They had lots of time to practice. The Guiness Book of Records confirmed it: this is the world’s oldest tavern!

00:50 Vineyards, Iphofen
We loved small and cosy Iphofen with its various vineyards. Who knew Bavarians were as passionate about wine as they are about beer? We recommend

00:52 Danube River Cruise, Passau
The scenic “City of Three Rivers” is best enjoyed from the deck of a ship.

00:54 Danube Gorge, Weltenburg
The impressive rock formations in the Kelheim area are a great backdrop for canoeing trips. We went with:

00:56 Olympiastadion, Munich
Climbing the roof and ziplining across an iconic stadium is so much better than just going around it, trust us!

01:00 Rachelsee, Bavarian Forest
The massive Bavarian Forest with its lush vegetation and peaceful lakes is a paradise for nature lovers.

01:01 Eibsee, Grainau
Remember the thumb rule of 00:08? This is the perfect example for it!

01:03 Altes Rathaus, Bamberg
The old town hall of Bamberg looks like someone glued a half-timbered house to another. It’s the highlight of its historic centre.
