Olympic Park

Removed from Unnamed collection

At Olympiaberg in Munich, every skier can find their perfect slope. This highest hill in the city presents a range of options for descending: gentle slopes welcome those eager to learn skiing and bobsledding, while the steep descents cater to adrenaline junkies who love to zip across the snow.

The Olympic Park, located in northern Munich, is famous far beyond the city's borders. Its unique tent-like architecture and the iconic Olympic Tower stand out as some of Munich’s most recognized landmarks. After hosting the 1972 Olympic Games, the park sprawled into a 300-hectare recreational haven for the entire city. It's a lively hub where joggers, cyclists, and walkers make their rounds, and swimmers glide through the lanes of the Olympic swimming facility. The park's vibrant atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon, offering activities for everyone, whether you're into sports or just want to relax with a good book under a tree.

Standing over 50 meters (about 150 feet) high, the Olympic Hill offers a breathtaking view of Munich's rooftops with the majestic mountains as a backdrop. On a clear day, the sight is nothing short of spectacular, making it a favorite spot for both locals and tourists seeking the perfect photo op.
