Maypole at the Viktualienmarkt - Munich

Maypole at the Viktualienmarkt

the Maypole

The maypole: tree of may

It is an old tradition in and around Munich to plant a tree in the center of towns and villages every year. Young and brave young men climb up to prove their bravery to the girl they desire.... Isn't that romantic???

The maypole on the Viktualienmarkt is a permanent one. It is painted with the classic Bavarian colors of white and blue and figurines representing arts and crafts of the people.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
