My Travels in Europe, Munich, Part 2

 



My previous post focused on the Englische Garten and Old Town in Munich. We also visited the Schloss Nymphenberg, shown at sunset in the header image.

We traveled by tram across the city to the Nymphenberg Palace. A long canal leads to the front entrance. The canal is home to carp and other fish, swans, ducks, and coots. Below is a picture of a coot on a nest in the canal.

 


 
On a later day, we walked around the gardens at Nymphenberg. Entry to the gardens is free, and there are extensive paths and water features. 


This video shows carp swimming in an ornamental pond. They were an impressive size. One (near the end of the video) was 4 feet long. -
