Bavaria: silent pleasures of the fan of beer against the Alpes.
Bavaria: silent pleasures of the fan of beer against the Alpes.
Konstantin Lang.
The summer approaches. Newspapers zapestreli advertisements
The tour agencies offering to readers to visit the various exotic
Planet corners. In the list of those, as a rule, there is no one
From the most fantastic places of Europe - Bavaria. And it is vain - even if
You at all do not like some beer, to this earth it is difficult to remain
The indifferent.
Bavarians always strongly differed from other Germans - the
Dialect, way of life and thinking, the earth nature. These
It was accepted to be proud of differences. Recently subjects for
Pride has appeared even more. Bavaria is, perhaps, most
The rich German earth. Here factories "Siemens" and "BMW" are located,
From which conveyor 1000 cars of 5th series in day descend. But
Thus all manufactures located in Bavaria, - very much
Pure from the ecological point of view. Most ecologically pure
Branch, however, is tourism. It - one of the cores
Sources of replenishment of ground treasury and, apparently, the main local
"Employer".
The basic flow of tourists (to 7 million persons) is necessary on
The end of September - the beginning of October when in Munich passes so
Named Oktoberfest ("Beer festival"): on everyone mjunhentsa
5-6 visitors of a city and in radius of 60-70 km from a city not are necessary
Remains any free cot.
Wide popularity of festival is quite explainable. Present
To itself of hundred thousand people, on long board benches and with the litre
Beer mugs in hands bawling cheerful German songs!
Atmosphere of a general holiday so grasps, what even
Tourists not knowing German attach the voices to the general
To chorus.
MOUNTAIN FAIRY TALE.
Still in bolshej degrees, than passing time in a year the beer
Festival, the Bavarian Alpes draw tourists. Even from Munich
In good weather far in the south it is possible to see a majestic ridge
The snow-covered peaks, bordering all horizon. In process of approach
To them mountains become all above, yet do not occupy all landscape, in
Which abrupt slopes and eternal snow alternate with the picturesque
The villages stretched in green valleys with crystal-clear
Ice streams.
Heart of the Bavarian Alpes is the resort small town
Garmish-Partenkirhen. Garmish not only is centre winter
Sports kinds (in him there passed the winter Olympic Games of 1936) and
The large mountain-skiing centre, but also all year long works on reception
The tourists coming for conquest of the highest mountain of Germany
TSugshpittse or it is simple for the pedestrian walks on picturesque mountains and
In parallel visiting improving and entertaining
Complexes.
The small town in a mountain valley differs not only
Surprisingly fresh air, but also low enough prices. So,
For example, one day in hotel "Panorama" number, from a terrace
Which the perfect kind on a city and on the snow-covered opens
Top TSugshpittse, will manage all in 80 stamps (for comparison,
Modest number in the Munich hotel will cost from 200 to 300
Stamps a day). Apparently, advantages Garmish-Partenkirhena
Have found many admirers far outside of Germany - inhabitants
Cities willingly say that not so long ago one of it
Private residences has been bought by Russian visitors for the daughter of the Russian
President Tatyana Dyachenko.
IN MEMORY OF THE MAD KING.
Gold mine of tourist branch are "creativity fruits"
Bavarian king Ludwig II. Being the passionate admirer
Riharda Wagner's creativity, he has decided to realise
The artificial world of the German composer also has got down to business with
The big enthusiasm. While in Europe iron and blood
New empires were created, old foundations, world powers fell
Converged on fields of battles, the king with unprecedented persistence spent
Money of the state treasury for building of the pseudo-medieval
Locks.
Thus it has proved the big innovator - so, at
Building Linderhofa it has separately erected also the artificial
Cave with stalactites and stalagmites and underground lake, in
Which floated in loneliness in a special boat and sat on
Throne from cockleshells, while girls representing mermaids, not
Getting out of water, sang to it vagnerovskie arias. By the way, for the first time in
To Europe in this grotto electric special effects have been applied for
Its illumination.
Burghers could not endure such careless relation to
To money also have organised to the king natural impeachment - in 1886
It has been declared by the madman and will dethrone, and through
Some days are found dead in water of mountain lake nearby to
Most wonderful of the locks constructed by it - Nojshvanshtajna.
The irritation of citizens accompanying the king during lifetime,
It was replaced, as it is paradoxical, admiration after the mysterious
Death. And erected it locks (Nojshvanshtajn, Linderhof,
Herrenhimzee) became object of pilgrimage of tourists from all countries
The world.
GAMBLINGS - BUSINESS STATE.
Unlike Russia where service of players is assigned
To commercial structures, gamblings are in Germany
Entirely under state home nursing. All located in it
Casinos - and more than 40 - state also bring them quite good
Profit.
As a rule, entertaining complexes go a hand about a hand with
Improving as it occurs in Garmish-Partenkirhene and
Bud-Kissingene. Last was a place, where in XIX - the beginning of the XX-th centuries
Often the world history was managed. Set of crowned persons were
Its constant visitors. Alexander II met often here with
Austrian Kaiser Frantsem-Jozefom and his wife Elizabeth.
Often others came in Bud-Kissingen Lev Tolstoi and much
Visible Russian figures - and health to correct, and to the public to leave.
Long months with children and members of household lived here "on waters"
Russian nobility. In 1898 by rail here even
Have brought so much Russian earth that has sufficed to construct on it
Orthodox church. From 35000 having a rest here to the first the world
Wars approximately 8000 were every year from Russia. It also named
"Russian resort".
The gambling house in Bud-Kissingene - too "with traditions". Here not
Will start up men without a gentlemen's set from a strict suit and
Tie, and ladies - without an evening dress. (In attempts to find the black
Trousers the correspondent "WITH" had to run about much on a city.)
Abundance of crowned persons coming once in Bud-Kissingen
Became a basis for occurrence of annual festival, in a course
Which made up and in appropriate way the dressed actors
Represent all high-ranking visitors - from Russian
The emperor to the chancellor of Bismarck.
By the way, at all this luxury the area differs rather low
For Bavaria a price level. Here it is possible to remove privately
Apartment with a plentiful house breakfast of all for 30 stamps in day,
Then to be engaged in directly treatment - the use
Curative waters and dirt. Actually the resort differs the original
Price paradox - during flow of visitors, in summer
Season, the prices in hotels decrease (number in 5-stars
"SHtajgenbergere" it is reduced the price with 150-180 to 120 stamps). It
The management explains similar actions to that in the summer, as
There come many people, from each of them it is possible to take less money.
Logic interesting enough, as in Russia at the maximum
Flow of visitors by natural desire of any respecting
The seller of the goods or services would be to tear off from them as it is possible
It is more.
