Old Pinakothek

Highlight • Monument

Opened in 1836 on behalf of King Ludwig I in today's art area, the Alte Pinakothek - as it is now known - is home to one of the most important art exhibitions in the world. Paintings slumber here, some of them by painters from the Middle Ages. That is why today it is probably one of the most worth seeing points that Munich has to offer - not only for art lovers.

Werneck Monument, English Garden

Highlight • Monument

The Werneck-Denkmal, erected in 1838 in the Englischer Garten on the northeastern shore of the Kleinhesseloher See (near the Seehaus), honors Reinhard Freiherr von Werneck (1757–1842), a Bavarian lieutenant general and long-time director of the garden. King Ludwig I commissioned the design from the renowned architect Leo von Klenze, executed in white Kelheim shell limestone and with two flanking benches at a height of over six meters.
An inscription commemorates his efforts, particularly the creation of the Kleinhesseloher See between 1799 and 1803.

Kleinhesseloher Lake

Highlight • Lake

In the southern part of the English Garden is the Kleinhesseloher lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in Munich. At the same time it is also a paradise for ducks, who are not only on the three islands in the water, but also in its immediate vicinity hundreds of people. You are not allowed to swim in Kleinhesseloher See, but its banks invite you for walks. A small boat rental provides rowing and pedal boats and the Seehaus with its beer garden lures in a fantastic location.

Running in the middle of the big city without realizing that you are in one. Dreamlike!

January 25, 2023,... durch den Englischen Garten (mit kleiner Abkürzung).
... on the 3rd day of the week the obligatory after-work tour through the English Garden was well "packed" in fresh conditions. 😊 Due to the snow and ice, the flow was slightly non-dynamic. 😉 But, good will counts, the almost muscle-packed six-pack is on the way to perfection and almost 650 calories also went "flute". ☝️ I.e. everything's ok. …

...on the third day of the week in the year 2026, the obligatory after-work run took place in the English Garden, with a somewhat half-paced pace despite the frosty temperatures. 😊 The somewhat lackluster flow at the end was probably due to the meager remains of the cinnamon buns from Norway. 😉 Inexplicably, the pace slowed with every kilometer; strange, …

... no, it's not hot, it's very hot. 😊

Nevertheless, we still went on the obligatory after-work tour through the English Garden. 😎 After 3 km the first break with a small shower took place. Likewise after 5 km and 7 km. Sorry, but the cool water from the fish fountain at the start evaporated after 15 minutes. The clock …

Oh yeah... Driving into Munich to go running... That's a stupid idea.

You can run wonderfully in the English Garden. But having to take the subway in is no fun at all. Then having to take the same subway line back out without being able to shower is also scary.
Fortunately, it was less busy in the evening, so I …

... in slightly shady temperatures, we went through the English Garden on the third day of the week in a partially dynamic way. 😊 The flow was inexplicably so bad today that instead of a doughnut (vanilla), there was only a slice of rusk. 😫 I haven't been out and about this "comfortably" for a long time. Nevertheless: ✅️ for …
