Itinerary
Day 1: Board our transatlantic flight to MUNICH, GERMANY.

Day 2: Arrival in MUNICH. A short drive into the ALPS brings us to RUHPOLDING in the heart of the mountains. This will be our home for the next week. We'll spend a relaxing afternoon in this beautiful village.
Day 3: MUNICH'S OKTOBERFEST!!! After a tour of the "Alte Stadt", the OLD CITY we go out to the "Wies'n", the Meadow, for the best party in all of Europe! The parades, the oom-pah bands, the tents, the music, the festival and the "Gemütlichkeit!" We will experience it all.

Day 4: The day begins with a "walk to the sky" along one of the area's beautiful mountain paths. This afternoon we cross Lake Chiemsee by ship for a visit to one of "Mad" King Ludwig's masterpieces, the Castle Herrenchiemsee. This grand palace is a copy of Versailles near Paris, but set on a lovely small island with the Alps in the background.

Oktoberfest Central!
