Visions of Germany: Bavaria

VISIONS OF GERMANY: Bavaria showcases the diversity of Germany's southeastern region - from the old world charm of castles, fortresses and gardens to the Mediterranean flair of the Bodensee, the "German Riviera;" from the depths of King Ludwig's madness revealed in fantastic castles like Schloss Neuschwanstein to the drama of Germany's highest peak at Zugspitze. Stunning aerial visuals are set to a soundtrack of local compositions - folk tunes one might hear in the bier gartens as well as the classical incarnations of the region like Johann Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz - paired with enough narration to inform but not intrude on the experience.
