Traditional May festival in Muinch #Maifest #Schuhplattler #Munich #Traveling

There are maypoles in many Munich neighborhoods, where a traditional May festival or “Dance into May” takes place almost every year. When the old tree is rotten after a few years, a new maypole is erected, usually after four or five years. In the city of Munich, maypoles are often erected with the help of cranes by the professional fire department or the THW. In the surrounding areas in particular, these are often still erected in the traditional way, in community work and with long poles, the “Schwaiberln”.
