What Else:
Of course the VCFe is the only reason needed to come to Munich
and Germany, but I've been told that people exist who like to see
more attractions during the visit, or they are accompanied by someone
who is maybe not interested in VCFe (ok, this is a very hypothetical
thought, let's just skip it :). Anyway, here are some links to other
attractions in and around Munich.
The first website to visit for information about Munich are,
of course, the official
pages of the City of Munich.
Another idea of what to do in or around Munich? Just
send
an e-mail.
- Frühlingsfest 20.4.-5.5.
- Maybe the most attractive byprogram of the VCFe - at least
for non residents.
Every Spring the Münchner Schausteller und Marktkaufleute
open a 'small' Volksfest at the Theresienwiese to help survive
the time until Oktoberfest. Well, small means here it will be
just half as big as the Oktoberfest and offer just something
like 100 different attractions - it's still big enough to
get known among the top Volkstests in the world.
- Maidult 27.4.-5.5.
- The Maidult opens the Munich Dult-season every year.
It's a real country fair. The Mariahilfplatz will be covered
with booths and attractions. Don't expect the latest whooping
thrill ride, although, the farris wheel is almost two
stories high :)
A walk along the Dult gives a good combination with a visit
of the Deutsches Museum, just a block away.
- 100 Years Deutsches Museum 07.05.
- Founded on May, 7th 1903, the Deutsche Museum will hold celebrations to
its 100 years anniversery.
- Grand opening of the 'Verkehrszentrums des Deutschen Museums'
(Transportation Museum) and open house at the Museum Island 11.05.
- Timely to the 100th centenary, the new Transportation Muesum will
open it's doors for the first time. Parallel the Deutsches Museum will
hold its annual open house.
Of course there are a lot of interesting places in and around Munich.
- The Deutsche Museum
- I guess nobody in this world needs a explanation as to what the
Deutsche Museum
is about. A new fact for most is the
Flugwerft Schleißheim
in Oberschleißheim. A branch of the Deutsches Museum, dedicated to
aerospace. The Museum resides on one of the oldest aerodroms world wide,
the first home of the former Royal Bavarian Airforce (königlich-bayerische
Fliegertruppe), built in 1912.
- Bavaria Filmstadt
- Since the begining in 1919 the Bavaria Filmstadt (Bavaria
Movie City) produced a countless number of movies. Modern
silver screen classics like Das Boot, The Never
Ending Story or Enemy Mine where done in this
huge studio complex. Not to mention the vast number of TV
Productions (including the eventually worldwide most sold,
translated and aired show of all times: Der Kommisar). The
Bavaria Filmtour
is drilling a small peep hole into this. The tour isn't an
artificial movie theme park but rather a guided tour thru a
real studio. Of course you'll get your dose of show, stunt
and action.
If there is something like Dolche Vita, you'll find it for
sure in Munich, the secret capital of pleasure.
- Kustpark Ost
- The Kunstpark Ost is
the maybe largest gathering of Clubs and Bars at a single location.
About THREE dozend are at the former Pfanni factory site, right behind
the Ostbahnhof (and realy close to the VCFe :). All danceaholics will
get their chance of a lifetime.
Unbelivable, but there is more in Germany than just Munich.
- KC-Clubtreffen 2005
- The KC-Club
gives the anual Meeting this year on April 16/17/18 in Pechtelsgrün.
A must for every KC fan. BTW: A KC 85 made the Best of Show on VCF 3.0 in
California in 1999.
Pension "Sonnenblick"
Hauptstraße 11a

Even if there is no VCFe, the European scene doesn't sleep.
- PLATARIADA 2005
- Platarida, a meeting for Atari Geeks in Budweis, Czech Republic
(you know, the place where the real beer is originated, not the US
clone brew),on June 17th-19nd. Like the VCFe, they celebrate their 6th year.
- 13th (!) Z-Fest 2005
- As every year, the famous Z-Fest will take place
in Fuldatal-Knickhagen at the weekend of 02/03rd of July. Meant as a meeting of Z80 geeks, but open
to all 8 Bit guys and gals (arn't they great?).
