As I lost the television tonight to the UEFA Champions League match (Bayern vs. some lesser team), I figured I would take the time to write about our little neighborhood. And for the record – Thursday night the television is all mine. That is when Germany’s Next Top Model with Heidi Klum is on.
As the winter turns into spring and the sun stays out later, Noah and I have been exploring our little neck of the woods even more so. While we aren’t in the heart of Munich city center (though it is just a 10 min train ride from our station / or 3.5 miles from our front door), we do live in an area that strikes a perfect balance with a few popular tourist places as well as charming residential and park areas.
In prior posts we have mentioned our neighbor, Schloss Nymphenburg (a 5 minute walk NW). We are still waiting for their welcome wagon to show up at our door with a key to the castle. Five minutes to our SE, we run into Hirschgarten. This is where Munich’s THE WORLD’s largest biergarten is, with seating for over 8,000 people. It is also a large park, with an area where deer and other deer-like creatures live.

We find ourselves in the park often when the weather is nice. It is a good place to let the dogs off the leash and watch them run around. The other weekend we even took our own lunch and the puppies to the biergarten. For those of you not familiar with the biergarten process, you can typically bring your own food but you must buy a drink from them.
