Füssen is located southwest of Munich about an hour away in the Bavarian Alps. Once we got into town we took a 5 minute bus to the base of a mountain valley and it was like a whole different world, there was snow everywhere. It seriously felt like we were in Narnia, the snowflakes were huge and they didn't seem real (and it hadn't been snowing anywhere else in Germany) and there were two fairy tale castles in view. These castles were built by King Ludwig ...

Back to Munich, but this time without Oktoberfest. We didn't really see any of the city last time so we still have to see all the sites. The first day, we took a free walking tour like in Berlin, it was definitely worth it because you see the sites and hear the history of the buildings, the city, and Bavaria in general. By the way, Bavarians do not like to be called German, they are Bavarian. Sean called a lady German in a store and she very adamently replied...

Nuremberg was a short stop for us on the train ride between Bamberg and Munich that we decided to stop at for several hours to see a castle. We were only there for about 3 hours but the castle there was worth seeing, it was very well preserved and is a lot like you would imagine a medieval castle. Nuremberg has their own special type of sausage which is the other reason we decided to stop here. They are small, similar to our breakfast links, and our served six...

First off, the train from Leipzig to Bamberg was very scenic and one of the better train routes in Germany, entering Bavaria. Bamberg was a gamble stop for us because it's not even in my guide book, but supposedly it is worth a visit, and it turned out very well. At first we were a little skeptical when we were walking around the train station, but once we got to the old part of the city the tides definitely turned. For a small city, it had huge cathedrals and...

We stopped in Leipzig the same day as Dresden, we won't be staying here long but will only be staying the night here and leaving in the morning. We did see a little bit of the city, nice but not nearly as nice as Dresden. One interesting museum in Leipzig we visited was a SS museum which was actually located in a former building used by the East German/communist police. It showed different methods of how the communists spied on the East German population as we...
