Bavaria

Overview

Philippe Gougler begins his stay on a station platform where most of the travelers are in traditional Bavarian outfits. They all go to Munich for the beer festival, the famous Oktoberfest. Philippe will meet amazing waitresses there who can carry up to twelve mugs at once. Then, head to the south of the region where a rack railway takes travelers and hikers to the summit of Germany, the Zugspitze. This is an opportunity for Philippe to discover typically Bavarian landscapes, such as Neuschwanstein Castle. Back in Munich, he learned that Bavaria was also an industrial region. Trains even enter factories. Finally, the rail globetrotter takes the ICE, the German TGV, for the north.
