but you do need to keep a day about the people vote for the over that's at home the fortunately most missing that you can about missed the boat on the. dragon was 100. 3. degrees books on. october fest in munich sees millions of tourists flocking to the bavarian capital every year. new cut stieg enjoys the masses for the world's biggest beautifulest of all. but the rest of the year as something to offer to be called footloose officer

travel tips for summer. and she has no shortage of ideas for winter either welcome to this check in special all about munich. and. this year i will be one of at least $5000000.00 visitors to the october fest in munich i'm looking forward to the fun rights and party tents and of course i want to try the typical october 1st beer. and. this will be a long day that's for sure. of

course when you go to the october fest and you want to look the part traditional costumes are really popular during october fest. women have filmed it and the men have fled the pants leader who was. the leader wasn't a leader was a special of course so do you only see them at october 1st or will you see them at the office too watauga. sit in that if you want is in this region plato's and on just one for special events. talking get tourists like to wear them to get into the swing of things and i'm told to fish but for us they're just a pair of pants we'd wear on an ordinary day. talking. about you would look like

a real bavarian boy by you to show you. some thanks alex. so now i'm ready to go check out the festival one tip if you come here to take public transportation it's much faster. there is a lot going on here early in the morning so let me talk to a few visitors who are you from. i was in texas all right then why are you here was celebrating us everybody it's the 1st time you're here yeah 1st time and all dressed up or dressed up yeah we want to go this is how the germans dress it.

yes i actually do that. what do you like about october 1st if you just look around you have this fear there trouble 1st is one of a kind because of it. everything here is about having fun but that doesn't mean it's only build fear the october fest is a real fun fair with rights and games and some of them have a long tradition for example throwing at cannes. for this right here it's called how did luke us get the lucas of course i've got to try it. but it was then what do i need to do not to look like a fool that's the guy well you have to position yourself right i'm an actor and then it's just like any other hammer the same principle if you take them or keep the back of a and loose with the lack of nice and flat on the right mel and that's the most important part and the rest is easy ok i start with best as i get the picture.

yeah all right. it's harder than it looks. here's another classic bumper cars these small electric cars aren't easy to steer but there are lots of fun even or maybe specially when you crash bumper cars have to stay true to their roots not like other fun rights which keep getting higher and faster but they're very popular.

the distant family has operated these bumper cars at the october fest for years. i just missed it this do you remember your 1st october fest from within the yankee or yeah my 1st october fest i was just a kid we loved it but it was quieter than not as wild and hectic as it is not the console take these are big visits is just a different vibe but we're not bumper cars have been around for about 100 years so why are they still popular. that is in some pockets of the hotel there are a few things that make bumper cars special the 1st of all you drive in yourself you can go why all about the niacin tame whatever you like to make and then 2 people can ride in a single car at the same time so you can ride someone else to ride along any time you want you can eat outside but i not let me claim it in there is the element of seeing and with being seen on the flirting and all that is not all of that is part

of the bumper car tradition this is i think i'll just go to the. what can feel what are their roots or is it a free for all. i think it's got it well there aren't really any rules when we do allow alcohol it is but of course to keep an eye out to make sure nothing happens when the sun doesn't expose you we've also got a lot of children i'm a doctor and parents with kids to be so we have to make sure nothing out there so every now and then you have to jump in and say something's wrong but in the evenings things tend to get down to business like it's the else it's all good other than ok and it's ok thank you miss that is the next. meanwhile it's even being at october fest to get a bird's eye view i'll go on the ferris wheel. this ferris wheel has been. here since 1979. takes you up almost 50

meters and is something of a landmark here at the october fest. that day at the october fest off course wouldn't be complete without a visit to one of the many privilege yes. there are 14 big tents in all which can hold up to 100000 people i'm in the hot tent one of the largest at october fest. you'll always find a free spot during the day but in the evening it's a real challenge is specially on the weekends. the thank the. the. the the.

guy. the. guy if you're here for the 1st time remember the beer at october fest is a bit stronger than your regular lager otherwise the party might be over soon or they didn't like. but it's easy to have a good time here everyone's enjoying themselves and the good news is 10 tejas. that. i'm. so what's my impression of the october fest there's a reason this is called the world's biggest party it's point something a bit very an original i'm. i'm. good i made it an entire day at the office over friends that meant for me why. leader of beer walking

several kilometers and a spur chill horse is astonishing how great this event can be and you know i can understand why so many people shown here every year again and again. october fest only lasts 2 weeks but munich is worth a visit any time of year summer is especially beautiful and the cold flourish starts or summer tour of munich on mercury and plots right in the heart of town. near nick on a sunny day and this is all i need my backpack my sunglasses a map so i don't get lost and this guy right here. today i want to find out what to do on a summer's day in munich people here have

a reputation of being quite sporty and no wonder biking hiking swimming everything and outdoor desire they've got it right on their doorstep. i've got delayed and correctly there are more than 1000 kilometers of bike trails in the entire city so let's get going. from marine plants it was only a 15 minute bike ride to get here in the very heart of the english garden is kind of like a green living room for locals and a pretty big 1375 hectors for cycling playing or just hanging out in the sun. in this gigantic urban park is the size of 525 football fields pretty impressive. watching other big. do sports has

always been one of my favorite pastimes. and these kids are the absolute stars of the english garden. wow not bad let's check them out from up close. the ice bucket river runs over a stone step creating a perfect weight surface from munich and all over the world come here to catch it and show off a bit so you won't find any adventures around these parts. in . time for a trip to the beer garden this is where the day really starts mine with some nice was. cool. there is correct with the very end so i've been looking forward to this since i got here. there are roughly a 1000 beer gardens in munich the biggest one seeds an amazing 8000 people today i

chose a slightly smaller one busy house in the english garden with room for only 2500 people still nice and cosy though. the world seems like a better place when you're in a beer garden there are people and chatting and having fun where ever you look and that is a big part of living area and lifestyle aleck style that's quite unimaginable without the most the very end of all the bridges and exactly fear i think there could be a connection there do you. so that's enough chilling i have a challenge ahead of me. and. as you can see i'm back at dizzying heights but do you recognize aware exactly. yes i'm on top of the unmistakable roof of munich's a lympics stadium it was built for the $972.00 games i signed up for an architectural tour of the stadium is about 2 hours long and there's. a lot to be

learned about this masterpiece of engineering. for example that ted cruz is strong enough to withstand the wildest storms and heaviest snow falls and i personally got to put that disability to the test. but 1st. i could take the stairs on the other side to get down but there is a fluster way to get my feet back on the ground. wow what an amazing experience trying to take a few snaps before we head off. to. another oasis in the middle of the city is that ease over people spend their lunch breaks

their weekends and even their nights here part of the river and its banks were in their early renovated over the last couple of years giving the people of munich and new leisure hotspots the water used to be forced into a narrow can now but now it's free to run its natural course again. these are bike trail takes me back to the city center and tolan stretches over 290 kilometers thank god i only have to cycle a tiny part of it. to . munich is a paradise for lovers of luxury and this is their shopping district. oh. definitely not the place for bargain hunters macadamia and sas it is munich said the most expensive shopping district. well thank us window shopping isn't

that bad either fancy stores lots of cafes and a sunny spot in front of the national theater lovely i almost feel like i'm in a pizza in italy. puts me in a real holiday mood. and it wouldn't be a real holiday without a little souvenir let's see what me and it has to offer. i'm sure i'll find something here they design a lot of their products themselves and most of them are made in bavaria and like that even on my travels i try to support small local businesses. and i even found

some things for myself. well this is it my very own momentum from my trip to munich and the critical one i had great weather so i could hang out in the sun i pretty much created the bear garden but i burned up all my vices calories on the bike i got to climb to the very top one of munich's most emblematic buildings not bad for a single day so i think i deserve a treat and i already have something in. the . winter in munich can be pretty chilly. but that doesn't stop the tourist the 1st stop for. many visitors is this city hall

famous for its glockenspiel. because nearly has your own plans for a winter's day in munich already in mind today our visit germany's most famous beer hall the hof bright house later i'll try my hand at curling and with a man so close i just can't pass up on the opportunity of a little fun in the snow in the alps. first we go to the original hof brand house in unix old town. still space to sit at lunch time during the week storage main hall has space for 1300 people. my time span guy is the famous beer halls manager and shows me around the upstairs banquet hall is regularly used for events for example a weekly dance night but home for house isn't just for tourists.

or. why is the munich call for a house so famous and for me i mean because we have great beer that's the main reason that's what everyone claims this is the house we're in the whole point house has always been here since 1589 so that's a long time and it reopened as a restaurant the way you see it now in 897 and i was just before that it was a brewery there and it won this before and why is it so famous. one because it's always been here has always played a big part in people's lives and the mention in movie that or next week that one city stand the regulars have a special privilege here they can store in their own beer mugs yeah i'm sure he's you know you're right the beer mug treasure chest as a once in a time when the 1972 olympics were here. we used glasses to clearly show how much

beer was being poured into them. but our regulars said they wanted to hold on to their beer mugs will go into the strongest i'm sick number so they put them into their own drawers which is now the beer mug treasure chest here you know stein who can i be at this somehow it's the most likely sort of a good time and i have never not in the mood for beer. me this is. you think i'm beautiful and drinking beer is disunion because what's nice about beer is you're sitting at a big table chatting with people maybe you've never seen before or people you already know. i'm standing here brings people closer together the dimensions of. let's see how things go for me with the regulars. i'm sure you have a place for your own money to the stuff you hope number 25 so that tells you a bit about how long i've been here if you did up on soft money how many can

a regular like yourself drink. what are the bands but 2 is enough for me all right it's one and then you're still upright are stumbling out of here or it's right or 20 no then i fall over. yeah that was a little bit it was the end all. winter time in munich is also the time for a very encouraging come across the support and most beer gardens here i'm here with the owner of the i was tina keller who's going to show me how it's done. doesn't so it's not made completely of wood. and the right it's made of wood except for the iron ring here keeping it together it's classic just like you find it to grandfather's house could be maybe the underside of his was flatter depends on your taste and. skills but thanks to the white it slides really well if you give it some

momentum from which we've employed or as heavy as it was over i know this is the one for kids and conditional fluke was what is that the doesn't mean the swing is the most important thing in counting that's what i think ok i'm ok show me little for me to. if that's good too short of a what's the game's objective what is it about use i'm for goal is to teams play each other on the one that gets closest to the house gets 2 points and the closest to the stone one point of them is all the house is the one block yes it's a wooden block or it's colder bottom you play around it and whoever has the most points away was the one. with. a disappears the world goes on to start the ball in the soup dealt. with the combat sophie. who put ice one of the real.

good about 3 stories freestyle but it's all right you go. well look very encouraging is not so easy but it sure is fun. now let's get out of munich as promised away from the city and into the countryside . to make things because i want to get to the mountains it's just 60 kilometers away and easily reachable by train. and just an hour and i'm at the outline foothills. when we get

there we'll head right to the peace for some sledding. then take me out works is this my sled. ok thought that because if you don't. oh well i'm going to live from above not from below yeah that's important but really otherwise you'll get tangled and pulled up if you're going to lift my feet up. and yes lift your feet up on the sled so you don't get hurt like this yeah when you want to get off just let go it will go by itself. and i'm ready to go i think but you'll help me write a little bit but if you get up a little bit of course. i would love to have fun c thanks. to the folks who also get ready set. go.

this month is 800 metres long and quite steep so you can really pick up some speed and things of the lift i definitely have to go up. and down again. in and around you'll find everything the heart can possibly desire of a little winter getaway a huge selection of museums fun physical activities the obligatory beer and this winter wonderland just around the corner the perfect combination.

good.
