Munich: Olympiaturm
The landscape around Munich’s Olympiapark is a designed urban park of water, lawns and gently modelled hills, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Created for the 1972 Summer Olympics, the complex is defined by the sweeping acrylic-glass canopy designed by Frei Otto and Günther Behnisch, spanning the Olympic Stadium, Olympic Hall and swimming hall. Olympiasee, the park’s artificial lake, borders the sports grounds, while Olympiaberg was formed from post-war rubble. The 291-metre Olympic Tower remains a landmark of Munich’s northern skyline. Today, the grounds combine major sporting venues with paths, open space and large public events.

Munich straddles the River Isar in Bavaria, and this setting has linked the city to the Alpine foothills south of it. Marienplatz forms the historic centre, where the neo-Gothic New Town Hall and its Glockenspiel are enduring symbols of civic Munich. Nearby, the Frauenkirche’s twin domed towers shape one of the city’s most recognisable silhouettes. Munich is also inseparable from Oktoberfest, the annual festival held on the Theresienwiese since 1810, while the English Garden follows the Isar north of the centre.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
