Boiron is a town in the administrative district of Upper Bavaria in the German state of Bavaria, not an independent state. It is located about 50 kilometers south of Munich on the banks of the Isar River in the northern foothills of the Alps and has a population of about 3,500. The town is known for its rich history, its Catholic Benedictine abbey and its natural beauty.
The Abbey of Boiron, founded in the 8th century, is the central landmark of the area and is known for its Baroque architecture and collection of religious art. The town retains its traditional Bavarian houses, hosts annual Christmas markets and other folklore events, and is surrounded by forests and hills, making it ideal for hiking and cycling tours.
The economy is based on tourism, agriculture and small crafts, with easy access to Munich and the Austrian border by road and rail. Boiron embodies the tranquility and cultural heritage of the Bavarian countryside and is an ideal stopover for exploring the German pre-Alpine region.
Weevold (Weesp) is a historic city in the Dutch province of North Holland, located about 15 kilometers southeast of Amsterdam, next to the Amstel River.

Werwald has more than 750 years of founding history, and the city center is listed as a nationally protected heritage site. Iconic buildings include defenses such as the Weywald Town Hall, the Van Hohendorp Brewery, and the Star Fortress. Built along the canals, the city retains its typical Dutch waterfront appearance and attracts many visitors to the Weywald Music Festival held every summer.
