There’s much on offer below Germany’s ‘white sausage equator’

Bavaria and Baden-Württemburg (BaWü), the two large states in southern Germany, are home to a quarter of the country’s population. The Alps stretch into the southern rim of Bavaria, while the mountainous Black Forest, home to the cuckoo clock and the legendary inspiration for Grimms’ fairy tales, claims the southwestern corner of BaWü. Railway lines connect cities large and small throughout the region, while airports in Munich and Stuttgart provide national and international connections.
