Germany Part 2: München

(Here is my attempt to get back on track with this. These next blog posts will cover the other 3 days of our Germany trip. You can click on the pictures that you want to get a larger view of)

München

This was our first day in Germany. We stayed the night with this really interesting guy named Michael doing something that is really popular over here called coach surfing which basically is service for travelers that want a place to stay for free. It worked out really well for us, not only did we get a free place to stay but we got to meet a German and learn about the city and places to visit from him. During our time in München we were able to go to Frauenkirche, Marienplatz, Hofbräuhaus, and Dachou. Here are a couple pictures of the significant things that we did in München.

We rode 2 overnight trains on this trip. One from Copenhagen to Munich and the other from Munich to Berlin. This worked out really well for us and didn't cost to much in addition to the price of the Eurorail pass.

The walking mall

This is a pretty cool church called Frauenkirche.

It is a pretty large church that give a really good view of the city. 

Inside the church. It can seat over 20,000 people. 

The view from the top of the church. 

You can see Marienplatz from here as well as the new and old town halls. 

This is us in the Marienplatz. Behind us is the new town hall.

This was just a really cool building. Not sure what it was though.

Dachou

The entrance to the concentration camp in Dachou. 

This was the first concentration camp. 

The camp was split up into two main parts, the barracks and the crematorium.

"May the example of those who were exterminated here between 1933-1945 because they resisted Nazism help to unite the living for the defence of peace and freedom and in respect for their fellow men"
