I absolutely love taking the train whenever possible. You get to take in the landscape, small towns, and villages. All shades of the rainbow and more.

When I reminisce of past travels nature weighs heavy on my mind.

Where it all began for Munich in 1158 and it is still The main square of the city.

Marienplatz is the heart of the city of Munich. In the Middle Ages, the square used to be a market place as well as the site where tournaments and festivities took place.

Munich’s Old Town Hall has graced the Marienplatz for more than five hundred years. It is truly one of the most beautiful buildings from the Gothic era.

Dirndl is a type of traditional dress worn in Germany and other surrounding countries.

These can be very pricey with all the detail, handmade and time that goes into them. I was intrigued and had to pop in the department store and browse through  and also the lederhosen’s .
