Fruhlingsfest

On Sunday-the S.O. and I went to the Stuttgart Spring Festival in Bad Cannstaat. ( Where the Porsche company is headquartered). Took the train which thus allowed the consumption of mass quantities of German Beer. What’s not to like about that?

On the way there, we first stopped in Stuttgart and walked down Konigstrasse-where they were having an animation festival at the Schlossplatz:

After a quick walk around the plaza it was off the to the festival:

For some reason the Germans seem to have a fascination with the American west, so much so they built a “Western Village” :

But of course, the main attraction was in the big beer hall-tickets required, but for some reason we got in:

And more beer and more girls:

And of course, its never too early to get your tickets for the fall fest:

  1. Lovely photos Skippy-san, I hope you had a great time at the festival.
    I have many fond memories of Germany; the southern region in particular. Every town had one or more breweries, and I took it as a personal challenge to try all of their offerings 🙂
    Have you been to Schwabish-Gmund, east of Stuttgart? Or down the Romantische Straße through the various "ingens" (Tubingen, Nordlingen, Rottingen, etc)? There are loads of great things to see along that route including  Neuschwanstein and Hohenzollern castle, and the abbey at Füssen. Oh, and the Fräuleins…
    Just writing those names bring back a lot of memories; 99.9% good.
