The Waldfest happens around the Tegernsee area during the summer and is a great way to spend a day…read moreor evening in the countryside. It changes locations for a 3 week period and is held in villages around the Tegernsee. The one we went to was in Ostin and it was my first time ever at a Waldfest. It was organized on the village grounds amongst the trees and farmland. The location was idyllic and almost everyone was dressed in traditional wear. They charge a small entry fee of €2 and the beer is cheaper than most places in Munich. There were plenty of food stalls and the food was quite good. Hearty Bavarian meals and desserts. There was a guy walking around with a basket of schnapps and you could have one or two of those after your meal. This one served Maxlrainer beer which is one of my favourites from around the area. The band was belting out tunes and it was wonderful to see the sunset with Maß in hand ;-)) I will definitely come back again with friends next year. It's a wonderful experience and done beautifully. It was not overcrowded and everyone was in a good mood and enjoying themselves. A great way to discover the amazing Bavarian countryside :-))

A great annual festival in Bad Aibling. It was busy and there was a lot of options for food as many…read moreof the local restaurants had stands set up and there was plenty of drink options as well. The festival has a main beer garden with a stage where all sorts of entertainment is ongoing and the surrounding streets are also part of the festival with all the cafes and al fresco dining areas. Bands were also situated in a few parts of the city center and people were spread out over the whole area. It was busy but not over crowded. The only drawback was the line up for the toilets which was very long. A nice festival that I would come to again. It's a small town festival as opposed to the big tent like events and nice to experience something different. We were invited here by friends who live in town and would gladly come again if invited :-)
