Garmisch-Partenkirchen topics
It should be noted that the national dialect in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also quite peculiar and original. Once you get to one of the markets of Garmisch, you will not understand even a half of words from the conversation of local merchants, even if you speak German fluently.

When ordering a portion of your favorite Bavarian sausages to beer, they will certainly eat them with their hands. This is not a sign of bad education, but a tribute to the tradition. The national dish called "weisswurst" (white sausage) can be eaten by hand only. Foreigners, who try to eat "weisswurst" with a knife and fork, will surely surprise the locals who will look at them as "vandals".
