At the end of another line is another lake, Lake Starnberger. This is a large and clear lake with a quaint town attached.
Hard to see in the bright morning light, but the Alps are visible on the horizon.
The central plaza of Starnberg. A traveling market set up shop there for the morning. And yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, that is a tuk-tuk espresso stand.
We headed back to Munich for the afternoon. Inside the Church of Our Lady, each window is decorated with vibrant stained glass.
Marking another brewery off the list: Augustiner. Augustiner is located on the pedestrian street in central Munich. Although the inside of the brewery has that cozy beer hall feel, we opted to people watch on the patio out front.
Augustiner's starkbier: Maximator. It was some good stuff, one of our top favorite brews.
After Augustiner we crossed another brewery off the list: Lowenbrau. Starkbierzeit was pretty low key around most of the city, except for Paulaner and here at Lowenbrau. We heard that there were feats of strength competitions held here, but we must have missed them as were hit the tail end of the festival.
There is no doubt that Germans love meat. In front of the brewery was this train car-sized rotisseri that held a whole cow.
After Lowenbrau we swung back through the Viktualenmarket to pick up dinner, only to find it swamped on a pleasant Spring Friday evening.
