Why Choose Beer and Pretzels at Zum Bauer?
A truly fun way to learn about the two most influential ingredients in a Bavarian’s life. At Zum Bauer, our charming former historic bakery steps from the pedestrian zone in Garmisch, we’ll have you laughing and rolling pretzels while tasting the three most consumed types of Bavarian beer.
Over three hours you’ll learn the art of true Bavarian pretzel making, twisting and topping three pretzels of your own, while we entertain you with the stories and history of Bavarian beer.
