October is a great time of year to
be in Germany. Brats, bier and brotchen (Bratwurst, beer and bread) are
plentiful at the many fests celebrated during this time of year, the most
famous festival being Oktoberfest held in Munich.
Food is a major attraction in the
country of Germany, but there are many beautiful castles, cities and country
sides to enjoy as well. The changing colors of the leaves during the season of
fall bring out many people for a Volksmarch which is usually a 5k or 10k walk
on a pre-determined path.
Germany is also referred to as the
“Land der Dichter
and Denker”
which means the country of poets and thinkers. One of the most famous thinkers
born in Germany is Albert Einstein.
So pack your bags (and your
lederhosen and dirndls) and take your class on a “trip” to the beautiful
country of Germany with some samples of good German food, building your own
castle or even go on a Volksmarch!
