Westendorf has gently expanded over the last 30 years but now the surrounding ski areas link up is…read morea great centre and still with a great sports shop. "Dieter's sports shop" has been in the centre of the village ever since we first went there nearly 35 years ago and expanded and contracted as the family changed. Now Danny & Markus are taking the pressure off "Opa" Dieter the shop is back full size and better than ever. From my experience there is nowhere else in Westendorf that is as friendly or gives as good advice and service or stocks such a good range of kit. Now Dieter & I are pensioners, and shouldn't be working all the time, perhaps I can get him out of the shop to go skiing again! Just look at the new shop website and see how young and innocent he looked when I first met him when he was water-skiing.(Just do not ask for a photo of me now or then!) Good luck Danny & Markus, you have a lot to live up to. Tony from England

This store is awesome. It's hella expensive though so be prepared to come off some $$$ if you…read morereally want to come in here and shop. We found things we've never even seen before on the sprawling three levels of this store. There is a huge book section covering all the how-to guides you could ever want or need to find as well as tons of travel bags and backpacking items. There is outdoor gear for camping, kayaking, hiking and any other adventure sport you'd like to try. They also have tons and tons of women's and men's clothing spanning hiking, camping, casual, workout, and other sports like skiing, etc. It's basically like a much better REI or Dick's in America. Staff were friendly and we found a cool few things to add to our collection of travel goodies.

I have ventured into this store MANY times in the past, but always to just window shop. I will…read moreadmit that one time, I only went to see an item in person, but planned on buying it online, since I knew it was much cheaper. However, that item wasn't able to be shipped APO. I happened to go back to buy that item and luckily, Sebastian M. and Fritz D. were both there. Both were super helpful with finding my item and most of all, they knew not only what a VAT form was, but how to fill it out correctly to save me the 19% VAT! Sadly, that was my last visit before I left Germany. I wish I had shopped there more often with VAT forms, as they had a WIDE variety of items I always wanted to purchase, but I was always there randomly without a VAT form. To Sebastian and Fritz, I hope you guys are still working there the next time I visit Munich.
