Exploring Germany while listening to Beethoven's music

In front of Frauenkirche church, a chamber music ensemble appears, opening with a magnificent symphony by Beethoven.

After over 2 hours of sightseeing in Munich, we stroll to Marienplatz square, a iconic tourist spot of the city. Every entrance to the square is pedestrian-only, allowing visitors to explore and take photos in an engaging environment.

At exactly 6 p.m., the bells of Frauenkirche church resonate across the square, joined by bells from other churches, creating a symphony of sound. Munich is often called the 'city of churches,' and a quick glance around Marienplatz square reveals many church steeples in close proximity.

Soon, a chamber music ensemble appears in front of Frauenkirche church, captivating many passersby with a brilliant symphony by Beethoven. Across from the ensemble, not far away, is a musician playing an unusual instrument, a large wooden barrel drum with numerous strings stretched taut inside. He plays the instrument with two drumsticks, creating a delightful sound.

Germany is renowned worldwide as the birthplace of music, literature, theater, and art in Europe. Among its famous composers are Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and Ludwig Van Beethoven (1771-1827). Hence, at every tourist spot, there are always several bands and artists passionately performing. They earn a living through artistic labor and enjoy the support of many music enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, we haven't had the chance to attend the largest Oktoberfest beer festival in Germany. However, during our days of travel here, we were somewhat delighted by a few glasses of German dark beer when passing through the Black Forest resort area.

The Black Forest is a mountain range with numerous trees in southwestern Germany, bordered by the Rhine Valley. The name 'Black Forest,' as many know, comes from the dense growth of coniferous trees that block out much of the sunlight. Perhaps in the past, but not now, the Black Forest isn't dark. On weekends, with tourists, locals, and families flocking to the Black Forest for fun and relaxation.

Introduced to the restaurants in the Black Forest, which offer many delicious specialties, we decided to drop by one to order. The staff greeted us promptly, but we had to wait up to 20 minutes for our food because the restaurant was crowded. Enjoying grilled pork knuckle and sausages, fries paired with dark beer, we found it delightful, so we ordered an extra portion to take back to the hotel for an evening party.
