Majestic Munich Gem As an avid traveler, I have had the opportunity to explore various enchanting destinations around the world. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Munich, Germany, and stumbled upon an extraordinary place that has left an indelible mark on my memory - Hirschgarten. Nestled within the city's heart, this sprawling oasis of natural beauty and tranquility is a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. From the moment I stepped foot into Hirschgarten, I was instantly captivated by its serene ambiance. The park spans an impressive area, boasting lush green landscapes and charming pathways that wind their way through picturesque scenes. As I strolled along, I couldn't help but marvel at the well-maintained gardens and the exquisite harmony between nature and man-made structures. One of the highlights of Hirschgarten is undoubtedly the deer enclosure, which houses a sizeable population of graceful and gentle deer. It was a surreal experience to observe these magnificent creatures up close, as they gracefully roamed around their spacious habitat. The sight of children and adults alike feeding and interacting with the deer brought a sense of joy and connection with nature. It's a truly unique and heartwarming experience that sets Hirschgarten apart from other parks. Beyond the enchanting deer enclosure, Hirschgarten offers a myriad of recreational activities for visitors of all ages. Families can relish in the various playgrounds scattered throughout the park, where children can frolic and let their imaginations run wild. The park's well-maintained picnic areas also provide the perfect setting for a leisurely lunch or a relaxed afternoon with friends. One cannot discuss Hirschgarten without mentioning its famous beer garden. Tucked away under the shade of majestic chestnut trees, the beer garden is an idyllic spot to unwind and indulge in Bavaria's rich brewing traditions. The atmosphere is convivial, with locals and tourists sharing tables and engaging in lively conversations. The selection of traditional Bavarian dishes is extensive, and the aroma of freshly grilled sausages and pretzels fills the air, tempting even the most discerning palate. What truly impressed me about Hirschgarten was the seamless blending of nature and cultural experiences. The park hosts various events throughout the year, from live music performances to art exhibitions, ensuring there's always something new and exciting to discover. I had the fortune of attending a captivating open-air concert during my visit, and it was a testament to the park's commitment to fostering a vibrant community spirit. Furthermore, the park's accessibility is commendable. Whether you prefer cycling, walking, or using public transportation, Hirschgarten is conveniently connected to Munich's transportation network. This makes it easily accessible for both locals and tourists, encouraging everyone to experience its natural splendor. In conclusion, Hirschgarten in Munich is a true hidden gem that captivates the hearts of all who visit. Its seamless integration of nature, wildlife, recreational activities, and cultural events creates an unforgettable experience. Whether you are seeking solace in nature, enjoying quality time with family and friends, or immersing yourself in Bavarian traditions, Hirschgarten offers it all. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Hirschgarten, as it will leave you with lasting memories of Munich's beauty and charm.

Hirschgarten, Munich's sprawling beer garden, is an absolute must-visit, and its restaurant lives up to the hype! From the moment you step into the lively atmosphere, you're greeted with a genuine Bavarian experience. The restaurant itself offers a wonderful selection of traditional dishes, all prepared with high-quality ingredients. The food is simply divine and my companions raved about the Weißwurst and the Obatzda, both classic Bavarian staples done exceptionally well. Beyond the food, the service was friendly and efficient, even during the busy lunch rush. Our server was knowledgeable and happy to offer recommendations, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. And, of course, the beer! The selection is excellent, with a wide range of local brews that perfectly complement the hearty cuisine. The outdoor seating area, nestled within the expansive Hirschgarten park, is simply magical. You can enjoy your meal under the shade of ancient chestnut trees, surrounded by the sounds of happy chatter and the clinking of beer steins. It's the perfect place to soak up the Munich atmosphere and enjoy a relaxed meal with friends and family. Whether you're a local or a tourist, Hirschgarten restaurant offers an authentic and memorable Bavarian dining experience. The delicious food, friendly service, and unbeatable atmosphere make it a true gem in Munich. Highly recommended!

Der königliche Hirschgarten - im Volksmund kurz Hirschgarten genannt, ist zugleich der größte Biergarten Münchens, ja sogar Bayerns. Vor allem die jüngeren Münchner mögen das noch heute vorhandene Wildgehege für gelungenes Marketing des Pächters halten. Ein Blick in die Geschichte lässt einen dann doch staunen und mit Dankbarkeit in Richtung der "Wittelsbacher" blicken, sind sie doch massgeblich daran beteiligt, dass inmitten einer Großstadt ein solches Revier für die Bürger erhalten werden konnte. Die Bedeutung kann man auch daran ersehen, mit welch reger Bautätigkeit sich an der Bahnlinie entlang, hier auch unter der Bezeichnung "Hirschgarten", Baulücke um Baulücke geschlossen hat. Die Ursprünge des Hirschgartens gehen zurück in das Jahr 1720. Zunächst Fasanerie wurden ab ca. 1770 hier für die kurfürstlichen Brauhäuser Hopfen angebaut. Die Geschichte geht manchmal verschlungene Wege - so auch hier. Der Hopfenanbau musste der Seidenraupenzucht weichen. Für diese wurden 17.000 Maulbeerbäume gepflanzt. Aus heutiger Sicht erwies sich dieses Projekt zum Glück als nicht rentierlich. Der damalige Kurfürst Karl Theodor, schon immer ein leidenschaftlicher Jäger, lies unweit des Nymphenburger Schlosses durch seinen Oberjägermeister Freiherr von Waldkirch ein knapp 45 Hektar großes Jagdrevier für den Adel anlegen. Damals wurde das noch heute (en miniature) vorhandene Gehege für Dam- und Edelhirsche angelegt. Von den Bürgern wurde diese Parkanlage gut angenommen, entschloss sich doch der Fürst es frei zugänglich zu machen. So wandelte sich das 1791 erbaute Jägerhaus zum gastronomischen Treffpunkt. 1840 erfuhr der Park durch den Bau der Bahnstrecke München - Augsburg eine deutliche Verkleinerung. Und auch später fielen Teile des historischen Hirschgartens der Wohnbebauung zum Opfer. Ein großer Teil wurde zum Landschaftsschutzgebiet. Das Restaurant bietet gut Platz für bis zu 500 Personen. Gemütlich eingerichtet gibt sich die Küche betont bayerisch und der Ausschank des Augustiner Bieres wird sicherlich von vielen Besuchern nicht als Nachteil empfunden. Mit 8000 Sitzplätzen ist er wie erwähnt Bayerns größter Biergarten - durch die Einbettung in diese großzügige Parkanlage fällt dies jedoch nicht so sehr ins Gewicht. Nur mit dem Auto sollte man ihn in der Hochsaison nicht ansteuern. Will man Biergartenfeeling zu 100 % genießen, empfiehlt sich eh nur eine Art der Fortbewegung - zu Fuß! Angrenzend an das Restaurant gibt es schöne Plätze, bei Bedarf durch große Markisen schattig und mit Service. Die restliche Fläche steht dann den traditionsbewussten Biergartengängern zu Verfügung. Demgemäß ist es dort erlaubt die Speisen von Zuhause mitzubringen - diverse Standerl bieten jedoch alles was das Herz begehrt inkl. Steckerlfisch von der Fischer Froni. Grundsätzlich mischt sich ein Biergarten immer nach dem Zufallsprinzip. Im Hirschgarten ist dies nur bedingt so. Bedingt, weil man schon beobachten kann, dass besonders Familien mit kleineren Kindern näher am Gehege sitzen. Das Bier schmeckt auf jedem Platz gleich gut - Prost!! Mehr auf turtlesurf eu .

Came here for lunch with friends on a cold November day. Needless to say, the outdoor patio was closed and there was no deer 🦌 however, we prefer the cozy indoor seatings anyways. There are just as many seatings outdoor as indoor! We ordered pork shoulders, variety of sausages and some soups. The pork shoulder was cooked perfectly (even better than some restaurants in Munich downtown). The meat was tender and the skin was crispy. The sausages were also pretty good as well. I really like the white breakfast sausages. They were delicious! The server spoke perfect English and very humorous. Overall we really enjoyed our experience here and the food was very good. Highly recommended!

It looks like just another park, but the Hirschgarten is much better than a regular park. First of all, it's less proper, regulated, almost like a small wood. Second, the Biergarten is one of the rare ones that don't make you pay "pfand" for the beer glass. So you don't have to go all the way back to the "Schank" to return it. Third, it has good entertainment for kids, namely the "Hirsche" (Deers) that gave the name to the garden and also a Carousel and a big slide with bouldering. And is 15 min walk to the Nymphenberg Schloss, so you can visit both in the same day. And the Biergarten here is much cheaper than the cafè at the Schloss. All in all, very much worth the visit.

Huge biergarten catering for c9,000 people within the park. There is an enclosure beside it with some Hirsch (Deer) in there. Great place where the ritual is get your beer glass from the cupboard, rinse it in the icy water in the vast sinks beside that then go to the shank to get your beer and pay for it (that's the selbsbedienung- self service way) Don't forget when you're leaving, take your glass to the collection point if it hasn't already been collected by the guys going around in the milk float type vehicles. About a 15 min walk from either Laim or Hirschgarten stations on the S Bahn. Well worth a visit.
