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.
VISIONS OF GERMANY: Bavaria takes flight in the bucolic countryside for a journey filled with royal intrigue, Alpine majesty, and charming villages where the past has a constant presence. Whether circling the old walled city of Rothenburg on the Tauber River; tracking the impressive span of Renaissance era mansions on the Maximilianstrasse or the autobahn; following along at Passau where the distinct colors of three rivers meet; waiting for the clockwork choreography of the Glockenspiel in Munich's Marienplatz square; admiring the glorious monuments in the ancient Roman city of Augsburg; climbing along the ski lifts of snow-covered mountain resort towns; or quietly gliding over the lakeside promenade in Friedrichshafen like one of Count Ferdinand Zeppelin's famed namesake airships, the helicopter-mounted camera reveals a fairy tale brought to life.
