The Munich Oktoberfest is one of the largest festivals of the world. Over 6 millions of indigenous people and tourists are visiting the "Wiesn" (Munich Oktoberfest) every year. Besides a wide range of thrill rides, there are beer tents, in which an extremely tasty brewed beer with higher alcohol content (approx. 6-7%) is brewed especially for the Oktoberfest. On 17th October 1810 a horse race took place on a wide meadow in celebration of the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. Since that time the meadow is called: Theresienwiese.

Everybody knows that Munich is more than a city of those flowers, which are growing on beer mugs during the Oktoberfest. The town praises itself primarily because of the high recreational value: Some people are „selling“ themself as employees for an inadequate price just to live in this popular city and to travel to the Prealpine Lakes in the south already on the early Friday afternoon: Ammersee, Starnberger See, Tegernsee, Schliersee…

But the dynasty of „Wittelsbacher“ was well aware of the flat region of the north: The castles of Schleißheim, Lustheim, Haimhausen, Dachau, Nymphenburg und Blutenburg are real artistic gems.
