Germany and Barvaria

Germany and Bavaria

Starting to pack for a trip to Germany and Bavaria.

Landing in Frankfurt, then going to Ramstein-Miesenbach, Stuttgart, Weisbaden, and then onto Bavaria.

Any recommendations in any of these towns for good food, doesn't have to be BBQ, just good food????

I'm also hoping to meet up with Brethren Mr.Osat on my way back from Bavaria to the Ramstein-Miesenbach area. Still trying to finalize the plans.

Any input would be greatly appreciated...

I looked at his Restaurant Location (BBQ King) last week, but he appears to be quite a bit Northeast of our travels. I will try to go there if I can.

Thanks Marc,

I've been looking these up online, looking forward to visiting them.... Thank you for your recommendations, suggestions, explanations and your time to break them down into categories for me..

Ramstein Area:

Alt Landstuhl

This was a favorite during our years in the 37th Airlift Squadron, and served as our final meal before departing Germany.

Chateau Briand, with the fixin's... and house wine, served in pewter goblets. It's a must.

We've taken friends there who didn't join us for the Chateau Briand, and their menu choices were excellent, as well.

Taormina - Amazing Italian grub. Highly recommend the four cheese risotto (even if it's not on the menu) and the white bean salad.

Desert - Eiscafe Dolomiti - You're not going to go wrong here. Seriously. From just a scoop of really delicious eis, to some ridiculous treat for the family... just go, and worry about the carbs later.

Bob, you've taken us down memory lane. We've had a good time batting ideas and memories and flavors back and forth while I write this.

Go have a grand time, and hollar if you happen to make it down towards Garmisch. We've got a whole other set of ideas and suggestions in that case.

Boarding the plane in the morning, will post pictures on our journey if I am able, otherwise I'll post when I return.

I did make Arrangements to meet up with Brethren Mr.Oisat when I am in the Heidelberg / Strausbourg area.

Currently in Garmish at the Edelweiss Resort Lodge ( military r&r at the Kassern ) Beautiful Country.

Can't post pictures yet as the network connection isn't secure...

Edit:
Just arrived in Bavaria. - Kongsee

Well, I woke up today with intentions of posting pictures of our 2 week trip.

Sadly photo bucket has blocked the display of images to other sites, such as the BBQ-Brethren.Com....

Looking for an alternative to post pictures.

We arrived in Frankfurt Germany early Monday morning: (no pics, just a large busy city I didn't want to get lost in).

Our first order of the day was to visit Ramstein AB to buy toiletries (at a reasonable price) that we could not bring due to weight limitations on baggage, we also exchanged our dollars for Euros.


We went to our hotel in Kaiserslatten and settled in. Made a trip to visit a friend in Weisbaden.





Then we ate at an Italian Restaurant with a unique concept, fast food Italian. They have homemade pasta already measured, you order your pasta type/dish and they drop into boiling water. While the pasta cooks for a minute, they heat your sauce/type in the pan, toss the pasta in the pan with the sauce, plate it and top it with more sauce. Their salads are also out of this world.

Pasta Bolognese

Carpaccio

Pasta Carbonara


Visited the Eis Cafe Ricalto for homemade Ice Cream


Awesome Ice Cream - so many choices


Spaghetti Eis - Straws of Vanilla Ice Cream, topped with Strawberry Puree, and Cookie Crumbs to resemble "spaghetti"



Day 2 we traveld to Garmish in the Barvarian Alps, stopped in Stuttgart along the way. Stuttgart is a city nestled in a bowl surrounded completely by mountains.






We roomed at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort at US Army Garrison/Panzer Kassern in the Alps for the night. Such a beautiful view.







Day 3 Hiked the Partnach Gorge that was cut through the mountian by glacier waters, finally reaching the summit where the mountian snow slowly melts.




Stopped for food and drink in the biergarten, Brots and Beer


Then we traveled to Bierchgarten Barvaria and took a room at a lodge Just below the famed WW II German Eagles Nest.

To be continued.....

Lovely pictures! Looks like a great time. Very jealous. Lived in Germany for 3 years as a small child (Army Brat) and have always wanted to go back.

Thank You... I was stationed in Germany 44 years ago. I wasn't crazy about going back, except to visit my son who is now stationed there. Yes progress can be a good thing, We really enjoyed all aspects of the trip.

All I can say is; if you have a chance to go back, seize the opportunity!!!

What did you do to get past Photo Bucket issue?*****EDIT********* I see this an issue being addressed in the main forum.

I started to download my photos and PhotoBucket locked them and I couldn't download any more. That wasn't a problem as I do have them on a hot swap disk. I just uploaded them to shutterfly and posted them, hopefully they will be safe there for awhile.
