Day 2 | Munich This morning upon arrival in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, the trip begins with a city tour of Munich and is centuries-old buildings. Our local guide will take us to Munich’s must-see sights such as the Old City Hall, the Music Clock that reenacts stories from the 16 Century (an extravaganza which can be seen at 11:00am, 12:00pm and 5:00pm) and Amalienburg. After we check-in to our hotel, we’ll have some free time to relax before our welcome dinner this evening. (D) Day 3 | Munich After breakfast, the day is free to enjoy Munich at your own pace. Some great ideas for optional excursions include: • Oktoberfest Tour | The city is known for its annual Oktoberfest celebration and its beer halls, including the famed Hofbräuhaus, founded in 1589. • Nuremberg | Live history can also be found on the Imperial Castle which is Nuremberg's grand landmark. With the historic Memorium Nuremberg Trials, a documentation center in Court Room 600 is accessible to illustrate what happened during the Nuremberg Trials. • Salzburg | Salzburg is the city where W. A. Mozart was born and the shooting location for "The Sound of Music". The narrow lanes and broad squares of this baroque city have taken their deserved place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Your Tour Director can help with some other great ideas and the necessary arrangements. (B) Day 4 | Munich – Oberammergau Today, we journey to the picturesque village of Oberammergau. This special town in the Bavarian Alps plays host to the Passion Play only once every 10 years. The buildings have frescoes by Franz Seraph Zwinck and there are live demonstrations of woodcarvers and artists. The informative Oberammergau Museum is a great place to visit that helps better understand this historical town. After check-in, there is some free time to explore this town and enjoy the Bavarian Alps fresh air before dinner tonight. (B,D) Day 5 | Oberammergau Today is the day we have been waiting for! This morning and afternoon are dedicated to the Passion Play. (B,D) First performed in 1634, the Oberammergau Passion Play was created from a vow made by the inhabitants of the village. The bubonic plague was wreaking havoc in the region and the villagers asked God if they were spared from the effects of the plague, they would perform a ‘passion play’ every 10 years. A man returning home for Christmas brought the plague with him and it began to spread through Oberammergau. Once the villagers made their vow, no other resident got the plague and all those suffering from it, returned to health. The play is performed in years ending in zero and involves over 2,000 actors, singers, technicians and instrumentalists that are all residents of Oberammergau. Day 6 | Obergammerau – Füssen After breakfast, we continue our tour along the Romantic Road to the Bavarian spa town of Füssen. This is the highlight of many a trip to Germany. We will visit and tour the fantasyland nearby the castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. (B) The castle Neuschwanstein of Ludwig II is one of the most visited castles and fortresses in Europe. The architecture and interior furnishings reflect the historically and eclectically oriented ideals of the Bavarian ‘Fairytale King’. Bavaria & Austria featuring Oberammergau Your Itinerary (continued) Schloss Neuschwanstein has some interesting features: • It is built on a jagged cliff 6 feet above the valley floor. • Open to the public since 1886. • Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle is modeled after it Reference to Schwangau Castle dates from the 12th Century. That said, over the centuries, the castle had been badly damaged. The castle was acquired by Prince Maximillian in 1832 and restored to today’s Hohenschwangau Castle – a process taking 5 years to complete. Day 7 | Füssen - Innsbruck Füssen sits on amongst the Bavarian Alps enshrined by clear blue lakes. The town itself is a great visit and there are many trails in the area for those wishing to take a nice walk. There’s many reasons to linger in Füssen. Today is a free day to take advantage of the relaxing pace of this town. (B,D) OR Optional Excursion to Innsbruck (included) For those who would like to explore the region, an excursion to Innsbruck is available today. Here, we will tour the city and have some free time for shopping, self-sightseeing or great people-watching! *Advise at time of booking if you would like to join this Day Tour to Innsbruck. Innsbruck is the capital of the Austrian state of Tyrol and famous for hosting the Winter Olympics. Known for its modern and imperial architecture, Innsbruck is a gem in the Alps. One of the highlights is taking the Nordkette funicular, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, for 360 views 7,400 feet above the city. Day 8 | Munich - Home After breakfast this morning, we transfer to the airport and board our flight home. The tour may be over, but the memories of all the beautiful places we have visited on this trip will stay with you forever.

  • The Life-Span of a Small High Mountain Lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe in the Bavarian Alps
    Sediment Dynamics and the Hydromorphology of Fluvial Systems (Proceedings of a symposium held in 72 Dundee, UK, July 2006). IAHS Publ. 306, 2006. The life-span of a small high mountain lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe in the Bavarian Alps DAVID MORCHE1, CHRISTIAN KATTERFELD2, SEBASTIAN FUCHS1 & KARL-HEINZ SCHMIDT1 1 Department of Geography, Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, D-06099 Halle, Germany [email protected] 2 Department of Geography, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 27, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland Abstract The Reintal valley in the Wetterstein Mountains in Upper Bavaria has been dammed by large rockslide deposits in some localities. Behind one of the dams a small lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe, was still in existence until 23 August 2005. The lake was a natural sediment sink, decoupling an area of about 1.6 km2 from fluvial sediment export out of the sediment cascade of the Reintal valley. The bergsturz event occurred about 200 years ago. It was dated by evaluating historical maps, paintings, photographs and sketches. Present research is focused on multi-temporal changes of the alluvial deposits of the delta by analysis of aerial photos and geodetic surveying. Volume loss of the lake is closely related to bed load input during extreme events and shows the geomorphic coupling of hillslope and channel systems. From regression analyses of the annual volumetric change of the lake volume, the life-expectancy of the lake was estimated to be about 15 years, before an extreme high magnitude event in August 2005 filled the lake completely with sediment. Now, after the filling of the lake, with the coupling of the catchment area of the Vordere Blaue Gumpe to downstream fluvial sediment export, higher solid load transport is expected in the lower reaches with possible negative effects on infrastructure.

    172 Erdkunde Band 58/2004 ON THE HYDROLOGY OF THE PARTNACH AREA IN THE WETTERSTEIN MOUNTAINS (BAVARIAN ALPS) With 13 figures and 2 tables KARL-FRIEDRICH WETZEL Zusammenfassung: Zur Hydrologie des Partnach-Ursprungs im Wettersteingebirge Die Hydrologie alpiner Einzugsgebiete ist auch heute noch sehr wenig erforscht. Gerade in Zeiten mit klimatischen Ver- änderungen ist es jedoch wichtig, ein besseres Verständnis der Wasserressourcen von Gebirgen zu erlangen, da diese Räume überproportional hohe Niederschläge erhalten und so für die Wasserversorgung großer Gebiete von Bedeutung sind. In den Sommermonaten der Jahre 1996 und 1997 wurden am Partnach-Ursprung Abflüsse, elektrische Leitfähigkeiten und Nieder- schläge registriert. Mit diesen Daten liegen erstmals fortlaufende hydrologische Daten zu Deutschlands höchstgelegenem Karstgebiet vor. In beiden Jahren wird der sommerliche Abfluss zu über 30% aus der Schneedecke gespeist. Im trockenen Herbst 1997 tritt der Schmelzwasserabfluss von den Gletschern im Gebiet deutlich hervor, über mehrere Wochen sind tägliche Schmelzhydrographen der Gletscher zu beobachten. Durch Konstruktion der Trockenwetterlinie konnte das allgemeine Speicherverhalten des Gebietes verdeutlicht werden. Rezessionsabschnitte von Hochwasserabflüssen als Folge von Nieder- schlägen bilden den obersten Abschnitt der Trockenwetterlinie, der Auslauf des Karstspeichers beginnt bei ca. 2 m3/s.

    Sediment Transfer through the Fluvial System (Proceedings of a symposium held in Moscow, August 2004). IAHS Publ. 288, 2004 37 Change of fluvial sediment transport rates after a high magnitude debris flow event in a drainage basin in the Northern Limestone Alps, Germany FLORIAN HAAS, TOBIAS HECKMANN, VOLKER WICHMANN & MICHAEL BECHT Department of Physical Geography, Kath. University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Osten 18, D-85072 Goettingen, Germany [email protected] Abstract This paper deals with the influence of debris flows on fluvial sediment transport in a drainage basin in the Northern Limestone Alps, Germany. A high magnitude rainstorm event in the year 2002 triggered several debris flows on slopes and in channels. Weekly quantification of the sediment transport in small channels in the study area Lahnenwiesgraben since the year 2000, show a drastic increase in sediment yield after the debris flow event due to extremely high sediment mobiliza­ tion in the channel beds. The investigations show that erosion and deposition by debris flows also affect the long-term fluvial sediment budget. Debris flows change the state of the fluvial geomorphic system and induce prolonged high fluvial sediment transport. The composition of the transported sediment (organic content, granulometry) may also be modified. The interaction of geomorphic processes is an important issue in modelling sediment budgets and landform development. Key words debris flow; fluvial erosion; Germany; Northern Limestone Alps; sediment budget; sediment cascades INTRODUCTION Debris flows are a common geomorphic process in mountainous geosystems. In spite of long recurrence intervals (low frequency-high magnitude events), they greatly contribute to the development of landforms (Zimmermann et al., 1997) due to their high sediment yield.

  • An Extended Series of Glacier Changes in the Bavarian Alps During the Last
    Originally published as: Hagg, W., Mayer, C., Steglich, C., 2008: Glacier changes in the Bavarian Alps from 1989/90 to 2006/2007. Zeitschrift für Gletscherkunde und Glazialgeologie 42/1: 37-46. Glacier changes in the Bavarian Alps from 1989/90 to 2006/07 W. Hagg, C. Mayer, C. Steglich, Munich In memory of Hermann Rentsch († 19.03.2009). Abstract The five glaciers in Bavaria which today cover a total area of less than one square kilometer were frequently monitored by geodetic methods from the mid of the 20th century. In this paper, the record is extended by new surveys in 1999 and 2006. The glaciers show a prolonged surface lowering, which is intensified compared to the 1980s and reaches maximum rates from 1999-2006. Moreover, the ice thickness of four glaciers was determined in 2006 and 2007 by geophysical field techniques and allows the calculation of ice volumes. First simple extrapolations of observed volume losses indicate that the two Berchtesgaden glaciers and Südlicher Schneeferner could disappear by 2016, while the ice of Nördlicher Schneeferner endures until 2027. Ice thicknesses and surface changes are visualized in five annexed maps. Zusammenfassung Die fünf bayerischen Gletscher, die heute insgesamt eine Fläche von weniger als einem Quadratkilometer bedecken, wurden seit der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts regelmäßig geodätisch aufgenommen. Diese Reihe wird hier um zwei Neuvermessungen in den Jahren 1999 und 2006 erweitert. Alle Gletscher zeigen in dem Zeitraum eine fortgesetzte Erniedrigung ihrer Oberfläche, die im Vergleich zu den 1980er Jahren verstärkt ist und in der Periode 1999-2006 Maximalwerte aufzeigt. Außerdem wurden in den Jahren 2006 und 2007 die Eisdicken von vier Gletschern durch geophysikalische Messungen bestimmt, was erstmalig die Ermittlung des verbleibenden Eisvolumens erlaubt.
