course when you go to the october 1st you want to look the part traditional costumes are really popular during october fest. for. women have done this and the men have fled the pants leader who was the. leader was as it was a leader was a special of course so do you only see them at october 1st or will you see them at the office to watch. it in that if you want to in this region later who is not just worn for special events with the cotton get tourists like to wear them to get into the swing of things and i'm told if it is not for us they're just a pair of pants we'd wear on an ordinary day. talking.
1:33 am
about you it looked like a real bavarian boy by you to show you. that i'm thanks alex. so now i'm ready to go check out the festival one tip if you come here take public transportation it's much faster. there's a lot going on here early in the morning so let me talk to a few visitors who are you from. that i was in texas all right and when you hear us celebrating us everybody. it's the 1st time you're here yes 1st i get all
1:34 am
dressed up or dressed up yeah we're going to go this is how the job instructs it has actually do for. us what do you like about october 1st if you well just look around you have this fear there of trouble 1st as one of a kind because of. everything here is about having fun but that doesn't mean it's only both fear the october fest is a real fun fair with rights and games and some of them have a long tradition for example throwing it can. 4th this right here it's called how did luke us keep the lucas of course i've got to try it. but missed and what do i need to do not to look like a fool that's the guy well you have to position yourself right when i'm not and then it's just like any other hammer the same principle if you take the hammer keep
1:35 am
the back of the hand loose when the whack a nice and flat on the right in the middle and that's the most important part and the rest is easy ok i stop and that's as i get the picture oh. yeah it's 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.
1:36 am
the digital family has operated these bumper cars at the october fest for years. i just missed it this do you remember your 1st october 1st from the thing i keep all your might my 1st october 1st i was just a kid we loved it but it was quieter than not as wild and hectic as it is not the guns all pictures or big visits this doesn't exist and i will not bumper cars have been around for about 100 years so why are they still popular in some so i. get a sense of bob is not the whole there are a few things that make bumper car special 1st of all you drive in yourself you can go why all of the nice small tame one over here 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
1:37 am
you want you can eat outside game and i not limit name then there is the element of seeing and with being seen on the flirting and all that it's the envy hadn't been all of that is part of the bumper car tradition this is i've got all this good at that got to go for him to what are their routes 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 is but of course we keep an eye out to make sure nothing happens with this one doesn't expose you we've also got a lot of children parents with kids to do so we have to make sure nothing out special 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 absence of it other been ok i was ok thank you mr this stood. meanwhile it's even being at october fest to get a bird's eye view i'll go on the ferris wheel.
1:38 am
this ferris wheel has been here since 1979. and it takes up almost 50 meters and is something of a landmark here at the october fest. the day of 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 had october fest. she'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
1:39 am
the. the. the. 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'd you'd like. but it's easy to have a good time here everyone's enjoying themselves and the good mood is contagious. 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. if i made it an entire
1:40 am
day of the october for us that meant for me one leader of beer walking several kilometers and a scritch voice it is astonishing how great this event can be and i know i can understand why so many people 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 because starts are summer tour of munich on movie 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.
1:41 am
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 fan desire they've got it right on their doorstep. even calculated correctly there are more than 1000 kilometers of bike trails in the entire city so let's get going. from marienplatz it was only ever 15 minute bike ride to get here 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 plain or just hanging out in the sun. this gigantic urban park is the size of a 522. i've football field. watching
1:42 am
other people 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 for 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. and. this is correct with the very end so i've been looking forward to this since i got here. there are roughly
1:43 am
a 1000 beer gardens in munich the biggest one seats an amazing 8000 people today i chose a slightly smaller one this is the 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 chatting having fun where ever you look and that is a big part of a very in lifestyle a lifestyle 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. 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
1:44 am
architectural tour of the stadium it's 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 doubt to put that stability to the test. of her. i could take the stairs on the other side to get down but there is a 1st or a way to get my feet back on the ground. wow what an amazing experience trying to take a few snaps before we head off. another
1:45 am
oasis in the middle of the city is that ease over people spend their lunch breaks their reek ends and even their nights here part of the river and its banks were thoroughly 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 by 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. from. munich is a paradise for lovers of luxury and this is their shopping district. gold . definite. but not the place for bargain hunters macaroni and stassi is munich's
1:46 am
most expensive shopping district. well i guess window shopping isn't that bad either fancy stores lots of cafes and a sunny spot instead of the national theater leslie almost feels 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
1:47 am
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 uni and the critical one i have right leather so i could hang out in the sun i pretty much created the beer garden but i burned up all my vices calories on the bike i got to climb to the very top one of munich's and most emblematic buildings not bad for a single day so i think i deserve a treat and already have something in my. winter in munich can. pretty chilly. but that doesn't stop the tourist
1:48 am
the 1st stop for many visitors is the city hall famous for its glockenspiel. nichol's really has her 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 the mountains 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 bread house in unix old town. there is still space to sit at lunch time during the week the story main hall has space for 1300 people. and spare guy is the famous beer halls manager and shows me around the upstairs
1:49 am
banquet hall is regularly used for events for example a weekly dance night at home for house isn't just for tourists. or a. battle why is the munich call for a house so famous and have you because we have great beer that's the main reason that's what everyone claims this is open house well in my point house has always been here since 158090 that's a long time and it reopened as a restaurant the way you see it now in 1817 i was forced to before that it was a brewery and it won this before and why is it so famous once one because it's always been here and has always played a big part in people's lives to mention the 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 sneezing.
1:50 am
you know you're right the beer mug treasure chest was 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 the moment it is done just them sick numbers so they put them into their own drawers which is now the beer mug treasure chest here you know stein who can i just be at this somehow it's the most likely sort of the good side and i would never not in the mood for beer. me this is. you think envy i like drinking beer this 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 these are in kenya and i'm stranded 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 have you hope number 25 so that tells you
1:51 am
a bit about how long i've been here heated up on soft money how many can a regular like yourself drink for sure that depends but to use enough for me our rights and then you're still upright are a stumbling out of here rights matter to know that i fall over. they are the ones. who is the end all. winter time in munich is also the time for the very end curling you'll come across the sport and most beer gardens here i'm here with the owner of the i was going to show me how it's done. he. doesn't so it's not made completely of what america has the right what 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
1:52 am
house. maybe the underside of his was flatter depends on your taste and skill but thanks to the weight it slides really well if you give it some a mentor. or as heavy as over i know this is the one for kids. what's that supposed to mean the swing is the most important thing in curling that's what i think ok i'm ok show me. if that's good. what's the game's objective what is it about the goal is to teams play each other and the one that gets closest to the house gets 2 points and closest to the stone one point. is how the house is the one block yes it's a wooden block or it's called a bottom you play around it and whoever has the most points away was the one. with . the ball in the.
1:53 am
combat savvy. about resources freestyle but it's a right to go. well but 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 linger. because i want to get to the mountains it's just 60 kilometers away and easily reachable by train.
1:54 am
and just an hour i'm at the alpine foothills. when we get there we'll head right in the piece for some sledding. then take me out works is this my sled. ok thought that it was every day i don't know when the lift from above not from below yeah that's important. because otherwise you'll get tangled and pulled up to lift my feet up. and yes lift your feet up on the sled so you don't get hurt that is you know when you want to get off just let go it will go by itself. and then i'm ready to go i think but you'll help me right because you get an awful lot of course. c things. also even if they're
1:55 am
ready. then. go. play the slope is 800 meters long and quite steep so you can really pick up some speed and things to the left so i definitely have to go up. and down again the among. them and around munich 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
