Such scenic beauty was a source of inspiration for 19th-century King Ludwig II, who wrote of Bavaria's "holy silence" and "blissful stars," how "the mountains surround me so seriously, and sublimely."

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When deciding if a beach is worth visiting, you might look for clear, turquoise seas and a scattering of sun loungers for post-swim snoozing.
