Author A couple of months back the new sensation opened and the biggest boulder gym in the world “Boulderwelt” was born. A little haven for all those living in munich, a dream come true for all those who boulder and the solution for all the others who wants to climb but has no climbing partner. This concept came and actually exploded right in the heart of munich. Well yes, a concept that’s going to be a success story of this century.
In just a couple of hours more the biggest climbing gym in the world is going to open it’s doors to the world in Thalkirchen. On Saturday morning 19.02.2011, the climbers are going to be richer with an extra 2500m² playground. With it’s extension, it will have 7800m² altogether. Wow! That could be equivalent to a small climbing area in France like Chateauvert…or La Turbie… ?
Thalkirchen has been reputed as the busiest, fullest, most crowded climbing gym at all times. Everybody can definately confirm this. Thank goodness that there are alternatives in Gilching and Heimstetten to look out for. But now, there’s something new to look forward to. I’m not so sure what the locals did to deserve 2 biggest gyms in the world, but it looks like there’s lots of people in munich who’s gotten in to the hang of climbing. One thing is for sure. All natural climbing areas are situated with a minimum of an hour drive from Munich, and thus Good job! Munich’s has the biggest and most climbing walls summed together with it’s >10 climbing communities and probably some 20.000 m² altogether.
So the next time you come by Munich and are not sure what you’re going to do, come to a climbing gym! Munich is indeed catching up with as many routes that are found in Frankenjura, don’t you think?

Salsiccia in white wine and onionsIt's very easy to get the local made saussages in the supermarket, especially in italy or france. They have them specially made for grilling or just to be fried on the pan. I love combineing them with differant spices and then sauté white onions with a dash of wine to go with it. A possible recipe to make instead of BBQing and you could get unexpected guests as well. Ingredients: 1 White…

I was amazed yesterday to see what some climbers have in their rucksack...you think it's usually full of equipment, rope, carabines, etc... A normal backpack with those weigh at least 12 kgs, depending of how you minimise. Well, when a fellow freind of ours turned up at the African Wall, and unpacked his bag, it was full of things to eat! Let me list out what I saw: 3 litres of water, 1 500g…
Beef Bourguignon with maronsIt was quiet, terribly quiet and the day was just awesome. I sat outside enjoying every single ray the sun had to offer on a cold autumn afternoon. As a slight breeze came across my face, I watched the golden leaves falling to the grounds...the previous nights were frosty cold and winter was coming in big steps . And I thought, we're going to have a strong winter this year, one thats white,…
Pasta Salad with Mussels and cherry tomatoesI must admit, that this year was not spent much cooking outdoors. I'm getting really comfortable with just hitting for the restaurants and getting others to cook for me. Now that isn't such a bad idea either?With the seasonal weather changing to be colder, darker, wet-ter and just nothing enjoyable to stay outside and freeze your buns out, I'd opt for eating out. Moreover we've been hitting for…
Reiberdatschi, raiberdachi, rub a ducky?No matter how you say it, it's a delicious something to make. Originally, this dish is supposedly a german or austrian food. My dad told me once that it comes from switzerland, better known as Rösti. You could make it in many differant variants, with speck, with compott, eat it as a side dish, or as your breakfast, eat it sweet, salty of solid. The americans would call this hash browns... I…
