Inside The Travel

Germany is famous because of its unique designs and cultivated culture. This is the usual statement of different people when it comes to Germany. Upright aura, sturdy, serious faces, golden hair these are some common physical traits of a full-blooded German. However, Germany is also known for its major exports and its stable industries.

The automobile industry is among the major components why German economy keeps on blooming. Indeed, Germany is revered across the globe because of its quality cars as well as its edgy car designs. In fact, this bustling country surely is the third among the largest automobile producers after the energetic Japan and the beloved America; it has 65% export rate. Furthermore, top car companies in Germany also have large major stakes in many international car brands: BMW in Rover, Daimler Benz, Chrysler, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, and a lot more. Extraordinary quality, innovative technology, and functionalism these three essentials make the German car designs stand out among the rest. Additionally, Germany continues to live among the leading car industries because each German car design truly speaks of the unique German values and active German life. So if you want to become popular and top the competitive world of international trade like Germany, just deal with cars.

Aside from cars, the Germans are famous for Oktoberfest or the Munich Beer Festival. It all started in 1810 when a ceremonious wedding was celebrated with culinary spectacles and racing horses. After the festivity, the people seemed to be delighted more with an exquisite culinary piece, also known as beer. The festivity soon paved the way for an annual event, which gained popularity around the world. Although the actual drinking spree is known as the Oktoberfest, it happens during the month of September. What can I say but the festival is one hell of a beer party with roller coaster rides, amusements, circus performances, live bands, and parades! No wonder there seems to be a growing number of participants every year for 16 straight days of fun and excitement. With the superb varieties of beer in town, you get to taste the best adventure in Germany.

Since its debut, every man in the world, and even some women, can’t seem to live life without their intoxicating buddy. They really don’t seem to mind so long as they enjoy the bitter treat of this beverage. The average Germans are seen as somewhat rigid and stern, but one thing we have in common is that they are also fond of beer more than we can imagine.

Garmisch, Germany boasts of many things - the breathtaking Bavarian Alps, perfectly-carved wooden houses with flowerboxes that spill over with color, the delicate edelweiss alpine blossoms, mouth-watering schnitzel, stout German beer, and a myriad of talented local craftsmen. But did you know that at the edge of this quaint, picture-perfect town lies a violent display of Mother Nature? Known in German as the ‘Partnachklamm’, it hides behind the old Olympic Stadium and attracts hundreds of hikers each year.

So what exactly is the Partnachklamm? In a nutshell, it’s a struggle to the death - a knock-down, drag-out brawl between the Partnach River and a limestone gorge. The river peacefully runs through the trees until it hits the 262-foot tall gorge. From there the river’s personality turns to fury as it slams into the rock walls, throwing its temper tantrum for over 2,300 feet before calming down again and continuing to flow through the Bavarian countryside. Visitors follow a carved-out rock path from the entrance to the gorge and up a gradual incline to experience firsthand what nature is capable of. Don’t forget your raincoat, though! You may be able to avoid the mist from the tumbling cascades but the spray from the waterfalls above will most definitely christen you!

There are several ways to experience the Partnachklamm, each holding its own delight for the visitor. Late spring through summer will provide a green backdrop on the limestone rocks while the chilly alpine waters almost deafen its company. In colder months, the gorge becomes an enchanting world of icicles and snow. Check first before showing up during the winter, thoughtoo much snow and ice will force the gorge to close for safety reasons. It’s also possible to visit during the day or the night - daytime offers better views while the warming sunbeams force their way through the foliage. After dark, torch-lit tours are offered, giving the gorge a mystical quality. Regardless of season or time of day, once you’ve made your way through this hidden natural treasure, continue up the mountain for a robust hike and then relax at the Forsthaus Graseck’s restaurant. The food is excellent and the views are breathtaking. While indulging in their cuisine, ponder how you’ll get back down - take the same path through the gorge or a restful two-minute ride down in the cable car. Either way, a trip to the Partnachklamm is well worth it!
