BAVARIA, GERMANY
Nothing says winter wonderland like the picturesque German state of Bavaria. In fact, when
you think of quaint villages with half-timbered buildings nestled in the Alps, chances are you’re
envisioning Bavaria. In the winter, this land of storybook castles and breathtaking views becomes
even more magical as it sparkles under a blanket of snow. Sights like Schloss Neuschwanstein
(the castle used as the model for Sleeping Beauty’s castle), the tallest mountain in Germany, the
Zugspitze, and crystal clear lake Eibsee are especially beautiful in winter. Bavaria is also home to
some of the most famous cities in Europe—Munich and Frankfurt.
