Getting a little bit lost in Zamdorf

We thought this walk would be so simple! Straight down Luderitzstrasse to the Park and back again. We didn't figure in all the wandering we did along the park's pathways. So when we started to head back to the hotel, we ended up walking around in circles, up and down dead-end streets.

This, in itself, was really interesting. The homes mostly have a small footprint but multiple storeys - small compared to what we are used to. The suburb is very green and leafy with beautiful shady streets. Almost no houses (or apartments) have garages, so parking is on the streets. We notice several things - roofs are steep and most have snow barriers on them; there are almost no garages; the Germans take great pride in their gardens with little sheds behind their hedges; almost every house has outdoor seating for the summer.

PS. We eventually back-tracked out of the maze of dead-end streets to the park using the mobile phone map to find our way back to the hotel. This was a little adventure exploring the backstreets of suburban Munich.En savoir plus
