Gelebte bayerische Tradition: Wald- & Seefeste im Tegernseer Tal

In Germany's southernmost state, customs play an almost overriding role. Bavaria doesn't just rhyme with celebration; festivals are part of the region's history. For example, probably the best-known tradition, the Oktoberfest, brings together locals and vacationers in lederhosen and dirndl for a huge party in Munich every year. And not far from the Bavarian capital, in the Tegernsee Valley, locals focus on cultivating the local folklore. Here, the only lake and forest festivals in the state are held annually during the summer months. Also the Parkhotel Egerner Höfe celebrates this and invites guests to a special tradition experience now.
