Local Food & Drink
Dark and wheat, Bock and Doppelbock, light and smoked: it would seem Bavaria has a
beer for every day of the year. Add a ker-sizzle of sausages and possibly the world's most
scrumptious cake for an epic south German feast (

Beer
Every tipple has its true home - whisky belongs to Scotland, wine to France and
beer to Bavaria.
Sausages
You could easily put together a sausage-themed tour of southern Germany, from
the
Weisswurst
of Munich, to the 30cm Coburg sausage to the finger-size links of Nurem-
berg.
Snowballs & gingerbread
Rothenburg's sugar-dusted snowballs and Nuremberg's pep-
pery gingerbread are just two of the region's tooth-rotters.
Black forest gateau
Europe's tastiest cake is a mouth-watering combination of rich
chocolate sponge, whipped cream and black cherries, infused with a splash of cherry
brandy.
Wine
Southern Germany's finest wines come from the south-facing slopes around
Würzburg.
Lakes & Mountains
Bavaria claims just a sliver of the Alps but packs a lot into its mountain ranges. Between
the peaks glisten glacier-fed lakes providing stop-and-stare vistas and ample opportunities
for messing about on the water.
