If the travel agents are to be believed, there is no end to Germany's attractions as a tourism destination. In between the snowy-capped Bavarian Alps in the south and the endless sandy beaches along the northern Baltic coast, there's a country brimming full of mediaeval castles, baroque churches and endless green forests. For an incomparable holiday, you just need to add traditional beer and sausages a plenty: like at the Munich Octoberfest, which ended on Sunday.
