We were pretty glad to get away from the grotty campsite so left early doors and were heading towards Munich. One advantage of having football crazy kids is they are very happy to do a city visit if there is a famous football team, so thank you Bayern München.
We are trying to make as much use of the bikes as we can and it’s so much easier to travel on bikes in Germany than anywhere else I’ve seen. Pretty much every road has a cycle path running alongside, in the cities, suburbs and out in the countryside. A fabulous way to get around and feels really safe as you’re not navigating busy roads.So we decided to park at the Allianz arena on the outskirts of Munich and use pedal power to get us in to the centre of the city.
We cycled through the English Garden which is a massive Urban park, really lovely & well used. Even in the park there’s clearly marked paths for cyclists. It took us about 40 minutes to cycle in, probably would have parked a bit closer with hindsight!
We dumped the bikes and had a mooch about Munich. Definitely on the list to visit again, beautiful architecture, fab shops, which we didn’t go in 🙄) and loads of street cafes and entertainment. We missed the famous Rathaus-Glockenspiel at 12 but still enjoyed the square and had an ice cream.
After a bit of tram watching with Ollie we headed back to the van and our Munich site, that was about 2 hours away (oops) but a lovely site, so much better than the previous night!
