Top Things to do in Bavarian Alps
The 10 Best Specialty Museums in Bavarian Alps, Bavaria
Running along Germany’s southern border with Austria, the Bavarian Alps are one of the country’s most beautiful areas. Skiing is, naturally, one of the favorite pastimes. You’ll find Germany’s tallest mountain, Zugspitze, rising more than 9,700 feet in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district (also a great hiking area in summer). Berchtesgadener Land (home to Watzmann, Germany’s third-highest peak) is another major ski area. Hochwanner, the country’s #2 mountain, is also in the Alps.

This was so interesting, so informative, and easy to see in an hour or two. History of the violin making in this area, and lots of old, and historical tools, photos, lots of explanation, and so informative. Just a short walk around the back of the church in Mittenwald.
