We will be visiting Munich in 2nd week of December.
I have seen some picutres of a frozen lake near Munich where ice skating can be done.
Can somebody indicate the exact location of these lakes and if they are available during our visitng period.
Thanks alot
Sorry,
mid December is too early for frozen lakes. They normally freeze over in January or February and only if it's cold enough for a long time. You have to be really lucky (or unlucky ;) that it's cold enough already in early December.

Thanks alot for your reply...
Sabsi is right with her info that mid December normally is too early to skate on lakes. However, at the moment it is already very cold in the south of Germany, and if winter arrives early, who knows...
There will always be signs at the lakeshores telling you if the ice is thick enough to skate on it. Some of the places in and around Munich are: Fasaneriesee, Feldmochinger See, Langwieder See, Lerchenauer See, Lußsee, East and Westpark, and the lake at Blutenburg Castle. They also do curling on the canals and the lakes at Nymphenburg Castle.
You might also see skaters on Kleinhesseloher See and the lake in the Olympic Centre but officially it is forbidden and dangerous because they are no still waters.
It is said that the canal at Nymphenburg Castle is the safest place for skating because the water is very shallow.
If it is just about skating and not the location, you can always go to the skating rink at the Olympic Centre (Olympia-Eissportzentrum), next to the Olympic Tower.
hi there,
if it's only for the ice skating, they put up an ice skating rink over the fountain at Karlsplatz/Stachus (the square at the western end of the mall) each winter starting end of November.
I found two web sites about it, both of which haven't updated their dates yet:

(German only, sorry. have a look at "Bilder" for a couple of images)
The English version of the official web site of the city of Munich is still announcing the 2005/2006 Eiszauber :-) (Ice Skating at Stachus square):
http://www.muenchen.de/Stadtleben/Sport_Fitness/Sport_Activities/36304/05awintersports.html
(it also shows a couple of other ice skating rinks)
but the German version at least has a couple of pictures as well:

The most beautiful place in munich to visit is a park where people drink beer every day, and one litre of beer cost 2 U$D.
Un lugar hermoso en munich para visitar es una plaza donde los alemanes van a tomas cerveza a cualñquier horario del dia y el litro de cerveza cuestas 2 dolares estadounidenses.
Starnberger See and the town of Starnberg is just about 1 hour to go with S6.
Directely at the S-bahn-station you may start to walk along the lake or enter one of the many boats in order to explore the Starnberger See.
In Berg, just opposite of the town Starnberg you will pass by a small cross indide the lake - it shows the place, where Bavaria's "mad" King Ludwig II was found dead under strange circumstances.
He drowned togeather with his doctor, who had declared him unsane the day before...
...BUT the king was a good swimmer... For 6 months I was working in Restaurant Undosa - it is the biggest restaurant in Starnberg with about 1000 seats in the garden directely at the lake and piano-music and dance every day in summer.
A hard job, but well payed at that time in 1986...
Remember that in Europe you will find dogs inside the restaurants and shopping areas.
Pets are very important and the people here take them with them everywhere.
It is not uncommon to have a dog (small) sitting under the table during dinner.
Olympiastadion, the old home of Bayern Munich. A great stadium which, surprisingly for its size and athletics track, manages to create a great atmosphere.
Built in 1972 and was the venue of the FIFA World Cup final in 1974 between Germany and Holland. Germany won 2-1.
Bayern Munich have now moved to the Allianz Arena, which was built for the FIFA World Cup 2006.
Okay, so I know that the Rathaus is not exactly off the beaten path, but how many people go inside? Well, we did. It's a working city hall, so hopefully people are respectful and quiet, but the inside is just as interesting as the outside.
We climbed the steps gingerly, waiting to be told to leave. But, apparently, it's a public building, so people can wander about, at least in the central area. So as you go up into the building, you see stone lions, interesting carvings, and stained glass windows of various hues. Several alcove rooms have especially interesting windows. Pictured are some windows that reminded us of home.
These kind of windows reminded us that the New Rathaus is not as old as it was made to look. :)
Enter inside the door, before the open area. There are stairs to your left and right...choose the right-hand stairs.
