6Bavaria, Germany: Oktoberfest and Beyond

Bavaria in southern Germany is famous for Oktoberfest, but beyond the beer tents, this region boasts enchanting fall scenery.  

The Bavarian Alps, with their snow-capped peaks and Alpine lakes, create a stunning backdrop for autumn. Visit the fairytale-like Neuschwanstein Castle and take a cable car ride up the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak, for panoramic views of the fall foliage.
