Does anyone know of anything great happening in the next two weeks in either Frankfurt or Bavaria in general? Taking a trip through and would love to stop at some fests / monasteries if time permits.
Here's a site that lists every Kirchweih (local fests usually celebrating the founding of a town church but are in reality big beer fests) around Northern Bavaria/Franconia. HTH. http://www.kirchweihkalender-bamberg.de/2012/_plaza/kerwa.neo
I live in Frankfurt. Send me a BM and we can meet up. Beer-wise, it's boring. But Äppler, or Apfelwein is what the people in FFM drink. I can show you around if you're here on a weekend. Talk with you soon.
Thanks, all. Andechs was amazing, and I made a pretty good dent in Sachsenhausen's supply of Ebbelwoi while I was there.
