Bellenberg

Bellenberg isn't the only spot in Bavaria worth exploring; those with enough time should also hit the road and discover the charms of the surrounding scenery, towns and cities. Burgau and Memmingen are two other places worth checking out while you're in Bavaria.

Augsburg, is another interesting spot to head to. It is 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Bellenberg and offers a great selection of tourist attractions, like Augsburg Trade Fair, Golf Augsburg and Mozarthaus Augsburg. City Theater, St. Ulrich's Church and Augsburg Town Hall are other good spots to visit.

If you ask a local their favorite spots around Bellenberg, they'll often suggest the region's much-loved gardens. For a glimpse into the spiritual side of Bellenberg, why not head to the area's many churches.

Signing up for one of the segway tours, guided nature walks and city walking tours is an excellent way to get an understanding of Bavaria. When the sun is shining, follow the locals and head to the region's gorgeous waterways for an afternoon of canoeing or surfing.

To really get a taste for the customs of the area, make sure you visit the region's restaurants. These are good spots to meet local residents as well as try out popular dishes. You will see that beef and potatoes are commonly used elements in local foods. Order a couple of the local specialties, such as kartoffelsalat (potato salad) and pichelsteiner meat and vegetable stew). Those who have a little room left, can try zwetchgenkuchen (plum cake), a lovely way to finish your Bavaria dining experience. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier is a popular beer here. So head to the nearest drinking establishment, kick back and see what you think. Franken Bacchus and Franken Kerner and wines from other grape varietals regularly feature on the wine menus of many restaurants in this region.

When it is time to leave Bellenberg, use your last euros on last minute keepsakes for the folks at home and say Tschüss (farewell).
