I found a nice dual rod storage bag made by Zebco that I never saw before. The women that worked in the store was very helpful(along with her two dogs).A must stop for fishermen passing through Munich.

We brought sandwiches, snacks and water which made for a little picnic. The garden is enormous and beautifully maintained. Wish we had gardens such as this in the USA. I think this may even be bigger than the Central Park in NYC - most certainly safer! We went on a Monday but it was still full of people. From what it seems, it's a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Locals wade into the water and there are even some spots where they surf! I believe there's even a lifeguard in one of the areas. They don't just let anyone surf though and there are some warning signs about its dangers. Hubby and I were able to find a bench in the shade where we just enjoyed the scenery for a while. It was perfect for our jet lag recovery The park is also within walking distance from many other landmarks in Munich, such as The Residence, the Odeonsplatz, Mariensplatz, The Munich Cathedral, among many others.

This park is larger than Central Park and is arguably the largest park in Europe.

There's a beautiful river with plenty of waterfront space to relax and even a place to watch surfers practicing. There's a huge beer garden by the Chinese Tower, great for a break or people watching. There's lots of well maintained pathways for walking snd bikes. Munich residents are lucky to have this space!

Gorgeous Alpine lake not far from Garmisch. The village of Walchensee is also pretty cool with a…read morefew houses and lots of holiday accommodation. There are a handful of cafes in the village and a small tourist office. We went out on the lake in a row boat and its a gorgeous big lake surrounded by spectacular mountains. I wish I had a fishing license as this is a place I could spend an entire weekend casting the line and catching nothing :-)) Will definitely return here as its a really nice area and not as busy as some of the other lakes nearby. There are also lots of walks in this area and in other towns close by.

Ich liebe Deutschland!…read more I was born in Germany and recently went back for the first time. On the way back from Berchtesgaden, Dad stopped by Lake Chiemsee so I could see where he and my mom spent some great summers, and also to see King Ludwig II's castle. The castle is incredible, even though it was never finished. Pictures aren't allowed inside, so I have none to share. We had a great time and even enjoyed a quick meal from the cafe just before our tour. The only thing I didn't like was the infrequency of the boats from the island, where the castle is, back to the mainland, where your car is. We waited a long time for the next boat. Other than that, it was fantastic! Definitely worth the trip.
