In the largest German state Bavaria, locally known as Bayern

 “How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!” – John Muir

==========================================
(in Germany) The largest German state, Bavaria, locally known as Bayern, comprises the entire southeastern portion of the country. It is a place of high plateaus and medium-sized mountains. In the north are basalt knolls and high plateaus; in the northwest are the wooded sandstone hills of the Spessart. The northwest is drained by the Main River, which flows into the Rhine. To the southeast the topography varies from the stratified land formations of Swabia-Franconia to shell limestone and red marl, the hill country of the Franconian-Rednitz Basin, and the limestone mountains of the Franconian Jura along the Danube, which divides Bavaria north and south. On the eastern edge of Bavaria are the Bavarian and Bohemian forests, and in the north is the Franconian Forest. South of the Danube is a plateau upon which lies the capital, Munich, and beyond it are the Bavarian Alps. Featured here is the village of Ramsau, found in the Bavarian Alps, in the Nationalpark Berchtesgadener, of Upper Bavaria. Ramsau is known for its high mountains, including the third highest mountain in Germany, Mount Watzmann, for the Lake Königssee -- and for the famous Parish Church of Saint Sebastian.
