In an effort to break up 5 straight days of drinking non stop at Oktoberfest, we decided to get outside the city and see Andechs monastery where the monks started brewing beer hundreds of years ago.. It’s about a 50 minute train ride outside Munich and it couldn’t be in a prettier place. I can’t think of a better day trip if you’re ever in Munich.
The monastery complex is huge and you can spend an entire afternoon walking around and enjoying the beer gardens. They have several different types of beer and the doppelbock is fantastic. They even have a mini golf course below the monastery. So of course….what do we do? Yep, go play mini golf with a beer in hand! Who else can say they played mini golf at a moastery! Been there, done that!
After a beautiful day (and several beers later) we returned to the city. It was a great break from Oktoberfest but who were we fooling when we thought we might go easy on the beer!
