What to
Its just about possible to get by in Germanys south without speak- Pack
ing any German whatsoever, but learning a few simple words and
Passport
phrases will pay dividends in all kinds of situations from the restaurant table to the booking office. In big cities, such as Munich and Credit/debit cards
Nuremberg, English is spoken by those who come into regular con- Driving licence
tact with foreigners, but this may not be the case in rural locations.
Schloss Neuschwanstein.
Yes, its tourist-clogged, and
yes, the renovation can be
more Technicolor than Teutonic, but come in the snow,
stroll after the tourist buses
depart or tackle the route by
bike, and the Romantic Road
begins to live up to its name.

One of Europes oldest states, with origins dating back to the 6th century,
its safe to say that Bavaria, Germanys largest and southernmost Land,
has enjoyed a long and eventful past, one populated by a weird-and-wunderbarr cast of oddball kings, scandalous courtesans and infamous Nazis.
However, the Bavaria of today is a relatively new territorial entity, its
three distinct tribes the Bajuwaren (Bavarians), the Franken (Franconians) and the Schwaben (Swabians) each having developed quite separately until thrown in together by Napoleon as the Kingdom of Bavaria
in 1806. Munich was founded in 1158 by Duke Heinrich der Lwe (Henry
the Lion), granted town rights in 1175 and declared capital of Bavaria in
1506. Although never really at the centre of European power, Bavaria was
a key player in continental politics for centuries. Governed by the same
family, the colourful Wittelsbachs, for over 700 years, it was able to form
a distinct culture that continues to shape its image and identity to this
day. The most famous member of the House of Wittelsbach was King
Ludwig II, who frittered away the family silver on blockbuster castles,
thus creating Bavarias modern tourist industry.
Of course Bavaria of the 20th century is synonymous with the rise of
Hitler and the Nazis who found fertile ground for their ideas in the workin class neighbourhoods of Munich and Nuremberg. The area is littered
with reminders of those stormy decades when mass rallies were held
in Nuremberg, and Dachau became the Nazis first concentration cam .

ollar),
Even the most militant anti-capitalist might shut down Facebook and
blow out the Molotov, just for a moment, to agree that Bavaria is a rampant success story of post-war free enterprise. Just one stat says it all if
Bavaria was an independent country (and not a small number of locals
secretly wish it were), its economy would be the worlds 19th largest
(equally affluent Baden-Wrttemberg would rank around 22nd), bigger
than Sweden or Austria and more than twice the size of neighbouring
Czech Republic. Germanys economic California is cooking with gas, and
probably on an eco-friendly stove of sturdy design, proudly stamped with
Hergestellt in Bayern (Made in Bavaria). Even as it looked as though
Germanys economy was losing momentum in late 2012, Bavaria and the
rest of southern Germany still seemed like a pretty good investment.
So what underpins the souths economic triumph? Good ole manufacturing seems to be the secret, with a motor industry second to none
