Medieval magic & farmyard feasts: discovering rural Bavaria
Episode 124
Monday, 9 February, 2026
Bavaria is more than just Oktoberfest. In this episode, we leave the big cities behind and head deep into rural Bavaria, where alpine beer huts perch on mountain slopes and medieval towns hide centuries of stories behind their cobblestone streets. It’s a land where tradition meets hospitality, and every corner seems to hold a surprise.Along the way, we roll up our sleeves on an organic farm, meeting the pigs, sheep, and chickens that call it home. We learn the old-fashioned art of making butter, twist our own brezels, and, of course, sample Bavaria’s world-famous brews. Join us for a journey that blends history, flavor, and a touch of Alpine magic.This time: * From breakdown to breathtaking: hiking the Alps* Tongue-twisters and tasty wheels* The beer capital you’ve never heard of* Landsberg am Lech: where history hugs the river* Behind bars, Hitler picked up his pen* How to get there, what's kosher and FAQs galore* Meet the pigs living the good life* Baaad move: the great sheep escape* From cream to gold: churning our own butter* Learning the twisty art of brezels (and maybe a challah)Mark and David were guests of the German National Tourist Board.
