What to bring from Germany?

To decide what to bring from Germany,decide: you just need souvenirs-trinkets or something useful "with national color." Fortunately, you can buy both in Germany. Also it is worth considering in which region of Germany you are going: in different parts of the country have their own specific souvenirs.

On trinkets, magnets on the refrigerator, postcards withsights and clothes / accessories with the German flag and inscriptions from the series "Ich liebe Berlin" we will not say: such a souvenir good is full in any country, and it is produced mostly in China. It's only that distant friends to bring to get rid of. What to bring from Germany to real connoisseurs of original souvenirs?

If you like beer, then the question of what to bring from Germany, disappears by itself: be sure to bring with you to home several bottles of famous German beer (just find out in advance how many liters of this intoxicating drink is allowed to be exported from the country). Biting German beer is best German sausages - "wursts" - with German mustard.

In the kit to beer and sausages necessarily buy beautiful beer mug with lid (the best is liter). And if you are lucky enough to visit the Oktoberfest, leaving there without a company mug is a form of crime.

Those who prefer wine, we recommend buying a bottle of "Aisvaina". Eiswein translates as "ice wine", andprepare it from grapes frozen on the vine naturally at a temperature of at least -7 ° C. The most famous ice wine in the world is produced in Germany. Warn at once: it is much more expensive than the usual dining room, but when else do you get the opportunity to taste such an unusual wine?

Also, many are brought from Germany Mozel wines: in the Moselle valley, white table wines with a special bouquet are produced. They are sold and we have, but in Germany you can buy them cheaper. Still from alcoholic drinks it is possible to bring home German schnapps and bitter tincture Jagermeister. And the children will enjoy the Nuremberg gingerbreads Lebkuchen and German chocolate.

If you are not constrained in money, you can buy for memory famous porcelain Meissen (Meissen). The Saxon city of Maissen became the firstEurope, where they began to produce porcelain. Modern products from porcelain Meissen are made by hand and practically do not differ from those products that were made three hundred years ago. A distinctive feature of products from Meissen porcelain is the emblem in the form of crossed blue swords, painted with cobalt paint under the glaze.

You can still buy Solingen's knives: the German city of Solingen is called a cityBlades, because it is famous for high-quality knives and blades for dangerous razors. There are several manufacturers of knives: Dreiturm, DOVO Solingen, Wüsthof, J. A. Henckels, Böker, Hen & Rooster, Eickhorn-Solingen, etc. You need to buy knives in branded stores so as not to run into a fake.

Also in Germany you can buy statuettes of Hummel. This is a series of porcelain figurines inspired bydrawings of the sister of Maria Innocenti Hummel, a famous German Franciscan nun and artist. Another of the souvenirs is to pay attention to Teddy bears (Me to you) and Buddy Bear (Berlin symbol) bear figurines, various nutcrackers, carved wooden figurines, beautiful dolls in national costumes and Christmas toys from Kaethe Wohlfahrt. Women will certainly appreciate the German cosmetics.

Many tourists like to bring from other countries National costumes. The most colorful costume that you canto buy in Germany, is, perhaps, Bavarian. But keep in mind that a "full outfit" will cost a lot (and it will not be worn). So you can do with the "version of light" - a Bavarian hunting hat.

If you are a fan of football, you can go to the stadium where Bayern Munich are training. In the stadium there is a specialized store in which you can buy a form and even sew on it the desired number and surname.

As you can see, empty-handed from Germany to leave difficult. Deciding what to bring from Germany, the main thing is not to overestimate the size of your suitcase and budget, because there will be no shortage of souvenirs.
