If Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria is located your ideal castle (of course that was what Disney had in mind …), if you are looking for your ideal country in Bavaria, Mittenwald then is literally “in the woods” one of the cities for lovers of the ancient.
Mittenwald has a little less than 8,000 inhabitants, 100 kilometers before arriving in Munich of Bavaria, 80 km after the Brenner Pass is where you can still find the old, traditional Germany.
Stopping in Mittenwald certainly means walking through its streets, to the discovery of the frescoes that adorn the houses, hotels and buildings, in search of the plaque commemorating the landing of Goethe in the city, which he described as, “a lively picture book “.
After that, is the moment to go from store to store in search of souvenirs; you can find minerals, precious stones, from tablecloths to traditional clothing. And if you are hungry, try to eat German food in Marktrestaurant and if you want something international try the Italian Mamma Lucia.
Don’t forget to see also the sins of gluttony: a piece of strudel from Rischart Café am Markt, Viktualienmarkt, Munich of Bavaria, Schloss Elmau, sleep in a 5 star castle in Bavaria, and Augustiner-Keller, a Ristopub in Munich.
