From Holiday Home to Bavarian Cuisine

May we tempt you with Munich Weisswurst? Or perhaps a juicy Schweinshaxe? The list of typical Bavarian specialties is a long one. In addition to those we have already mentioned, some of the most popular also include roast pork with bread dumplings, Sauerbraten and liver-dumpling soup. For their part, cheese lovers would be well advised to order Obazda or Allgau-style Käsespätzle. A cold glass of Weissbier, perhaps enjoyed with a hearty afternoon snack, is also a must. For dessert, we recommend Bavarian Crème or plum cake with butter crumble. Incidentally: All of these dishes can also be cooked up wonderfully in the fully equipped kitchens of our holiday homes.

Popular Attractions in Bavaria

As Germany’s biggest state, Bavaria has all kinds of excursion destinations to offer. We have deliberately restricted our selection to focus on our holiday homes in St. Englmar and Inzell. Lots of fun and action are promised by the amusement park in Ruhpolding and Europapark Bayern-Böhmen. Likewise well worth a visit is Lake Chiemsee, which, due to its size, is commonly nicknamed the “Bavarian Sea”. In Berchtesgaden National Park and Bavarian Forest, on the other hand, you will experience nature at its most pristine. Aside from diverse flora and fauna, visitors are always awed by Lake Königssee. The historic Old City of Regensburg is also a must-see. And if you still have time to spare, you will definitely find a daytrip to Munich extremely rewarding.
