The Werdenfelser Land is a region of Upper Bavaria that extends from Mittenwald in the south to Farchant. It includes parts of the Bavarian Alps. From the Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War, the Werdenfelser Land was subject to the Prince-Bishop of Freising, not the Duke of Bavaria. The region derives its name from the medieval Werdenfels Castle north of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The castle acted chiefly to secure the military and trade route that ran through the Loisach valley and linked trading posts in Italy and Upper Bavaria. It is sometimes called the ''Goldener Land'' after the wealth derived in the Middle Ages and Renaissance from the traffic along this ''Rottstraße,'' the main route over the Alps to Augsburg. == Municipalities == The cultural centre of the land is the town Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The following municipalities also belong to Werdenfelser Land proper: *Farchant *Grainau *Krün *Wallgau *Mittenwald Werdenfelser territory, or at least culture, is also by some sources said to include the Ammertal municipalities of: *Ettal *Oberammergau *Unterammergau The widest definition includes all of the Loisach and Ammer valleys as far north as the edge of the Alps along the line of the Bayersoiener See-Staffelsee-Riegsee lakes, incorporating the additional municipalities of: *Oberau *Eschenlohe *Bad Kohlgrub *Saulgrub *Bad Bayersoien *Ohlstadt *Schwaigen *Seehausen *Uffing *Murnau *Großweil 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Werdenfelser Land」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
