Places of silence in Bavaria
Yesterday, on Shrove Tuesday, things were still lively. Today it's much quieter. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the quiet period after the Carnival festivities. The wild celebrations of Carnival are over. Petar and I aren't really into that sort of thing. We much prefer the quiet time afterward: it's a time to reflect on what's truly important. We want to find our inner peace here in Bavaria. Many people resolve to give up sweets or meat for a few weeks. Others opt for a "digital detox" and forgo their cell phones or the information overload from the internet for a while.

We do things quite differently: We seek inner peace and opportunities to recover from the hectic pace of life. The motto of Bavarian tourism advertising from a few years ago fits perfectly with this: it was all about "Stade Zeiten" (Quiet Times) – places... Accomodation as well as experiences where you perceive yourself and your surroundings more intensely and focus on them. For this, you'll find the perfect accommodations in Bayern.
