Northern Bavaria

Covering more than 70.000 km², Bavaria counts as the largest Federal State in Germany. Even though most programmes take place in Southern Bavaria and Munich, due to the appeal of the capital and the Alps, the north of Bavaria has a lot of exciting activities to offer, too. The majestic mountains and forests of Franconian Switzerland, being home to magnificent castles and medieval towns, beckon you to discover them.

Beside this, northern Bavaria is well-versed in the field of science, too. After all, Audi produces its world-famous cars here. It is definitely worth to check out Northern Bavaria when planning a trip to Germany!
