Cultural Celebration in Munich

Impressions from the
Oktoberfest 2009

16 days of festivities have just come to an end -- and it was once again a cultural highlight to celebrate the Oktoberfest 2009 in Munich!

One of the largest cultural festivals of the World, the "Wiesn" attracted 5.7 million visitors this year -- despite the marvelous weather a lower record than previous years. Nevertheless, the consumption once again reached incredible levels: 6.5 million liters of beer, 111 oxen and approximately 500.000 chicken.

For those not able to attend, here are some impressions from the last day of the Oktoberfest 2009 under a wonderful white-blue Bavarian sky:
