Bavaria evokes a sense of nostalgia – for idyllic villages and the typical Bavarian warmth, which its inhabitants have felt and radiated for generations. In Bavaria, people hold fast to their traditions and enjoy coming together in an open and friendly environment. They are keen to make a contribution to their beloved and unique homeland and help shape the image of Bavaria in the wider world.

Bavaria is a place where guests can satisfy their wanderlust and feel immediately “dahoam” (at home). The Altenauer Dorfwirt is one such venue, where young and old alike meet up and make music. But dairies, abbeys and traditional craft enterprises like the Theresienglas crystal glass factory or the artists’ colony on the island of Fraueninsel also leave their mark on local village life and bear witness to its timeless charm.

Our hometown traditionalists keep the archetypal village idyll alive and help it to keep evolving. They bring their stories to life for each and every guest. Take a look behind the scenes and experience in person how the hometown traditionalists shape their villages through the way they live, work and enjoy life – past and present.
