My favourite market in Munich

It is again the time of Auer Dult - one of the oldest markets in Munich. It takes place three times a year and it is always a pleasure to visit...
Here you can find out more about this fantastic event:

Today was glorious Autumn weather, so I managed to take pictures of some quirky items for sale and some local characters...
The market is set around the beautiful Mariahilf church and it has a very oldfashion feel. The individual alleys between the stalls have names and one of them is called the "treasure-hunter alley".
As well as selling antiques and every imaginable equipment for the kitchen, the market also provides an opportunity to taste some specialities such as sugar almonds in colourful packaging or smoked fish. Music is provided by disabled people with music boxes as in the old good days...

Visit if you can... There are not many places where you can find a Barbie Angel, stuffed deer, school skeleton,  bicycle cookie cutter or ladybird on wheels next to each other...
