Two days at the Spring Festival “Fruhlingsfest” in Munich and Stuttgart

The next day, I went to Munich to experience the bigger Munich Springfestival.

A short train-trip on the Deutsche Bahn had me arriving in Munich in just a couple of hours.

Munich Spring Festival “Fruhlingsfest”

In Munich, you’ll find the spring festival at the traditional Theresienwiese where the famous Oktoberfest is held.

Book a hotel in the center and you will be within walking distance of the Theresienwiese and the spring festival.

Sadly, the bad weather dampened the atmosphere and enjoyment.

But despite the weather, some people wore the traditional Lederhosen (leather shorts) and Drindl (a short dress for the women).

Party in the tents

The tents are very popular and fill up very quick, especially in these weather conditions.

Everyone wanted to be in the tents and there were two queues to the Hippodrome tent I wanted to enter.

After standing for an hour in the rain and cold wind, they decided to make only one queue and we were pushed into the middle of the other one.

So that meant probably waiting yet another hour before I could even enter the tent.

Wet and freezing, I did the sensible thing and decided to head back to the hotel and leave the tent event until the next time.

Munich next year again !? …

Things don’t always go as you hope they will, but that’s life.

From what I did see, it looks like the spring-fest could be a lot of fun, and I hope to go back soon to experience it when it’s sunny.
