Seehaus Beirgarten
by Angelamtp1
Seehaus Beergarden in Spring on the lake, Englishiergarten....nice crowd, very busy around 6pm...... beautiful trees, (is this getting redundant?) There is an indoor restaraunt like most beergardens, really good food. Seehaus and Osterwald gardens are my favorite, though I have not been to all the wonderful gardens in Munchen, I would love to do a vacation simply on getting drunk in the beautifull beergardens of Munchen...maybe I will :)
Munich Tip
by rtschneider
One day while we were at the Oktoberfest we were sitting at a table right next to the stage where a German band was playing. During their break I walked on stage to make friends. When they were ready to play again and the tamborine player was not back yet, they let me play with them and I have a picture to prove it!

Lake Chiemsee with its stunning beauty peacfully dozes, surrounded by Alps. Herrenchiemsee castle by king Ludwig II is built on one of its islands. Gallery of art on the Zugspitze's summit - where art meets nature!
Vogelpfeiffer (bird imitators)
by globetrott
This is the stand of "Münchner Vogelpfeiffer" ( bird imitators )
It is another funny place to go on Oktoberfest and listen to the stories of these 2 men , who are trying to sell small pieces of something that you put under your tongue in order to imitate bird-voices.
I bought it ( for 2,5 Euros you get 2 of them ) and used it according to the explanations - BUT it did not work !! :-((
But I also saw children beeing able to do it right away !!
But once again, the best part of the Vogelpfeiffer is the small show they are performing, the jokes, the bird-whistling they are doing, while talking, their dresses etc.
Of course it is best, when you are able to understand german and also Bavarian, but I am sure it is funny for foreigners, too.
In 2003 they had their stand close to the Bavaria sculpture, just opposite of the Armbrustschützen-tent .
Schloss Neuschwanstein
by Maximilian21
Schloss Neuschwanstein is one of those places that you have to slap yourself in order to determine that your not dreaming.
It is literally something of a failry tale and was the brain child of King Ludwid 2. Ludwig withdrew into a world where he could realize his childhood fantasies - a world reflected in the operatic works of Wagner; a world which gave birth of Neuschwanstein.
built in the neo-late romanesque style.
With its turrets and mock-medievalism, its interior styles ranging from Byzantine through Romanesque to Gothic its a real fairy-tale fantasy come true.
The surrounding of the castle are truly unbelievable and it is a must should you visit bavaria.
