lake waldschwaigsee ~ karlsfeld bei münchen

what a nice afternoon with children at the quarry pond (baggersee) waldschwaigsee between langwied and karlsfeld 😊 it is a quite quiet place with no playground for children, no beach volley area, no barbecue area ... and there is just a small kiosk with a really limited selection of food ... anyway. it is a nice place to go close to the 3 crowded langwieder lakes, too. btw, the parking place in the langwieder street is still for free and even at a hot weekend day like today not overcrowded. 

i was not completely sure what does 'schwaige' mean and thought it could be s.th. with water. well, i've asked AI and look what they answered: Der Waldschwaigsee bei Karlsfeld verdankt seinen Namen einer früher dort bestehenden Waldschwaige, also einem Gehöft mit Viehhaltung am Waldrand. 😄

the shallow water bay called schweinebucht (swine bay)
lawn for sunbathing
there were not many shadow places, if you asked me
there is a small island inside the lake (on the left side) 🐋

paulinum ~ walking back in time

how crazy is that? three of us met some 30+ years after we left our student dorm paulinum again just to visit our old well known places 😀~ the LMU university, the surrounding streets, the nearby bars + restaurants which changed most over the time ... our student home still exists and functions as a refugee accommodation awaiting massive reconstruction today.

one of the back entries to the LMU university
 = ludwig-maximilians-universität in munich
like a student again ...
audimax, auditorium maximum, the biggest lecture hall at the LMU
paulinum, our old students home, rambergstr. 6, close
 to the LMU university witnessed better times before 
3 of us 🍀😊🍀
the bavarian atzinger guesthouse close to the LMU university
 could keep its student character over the years 🍻🍻🍻

highly NOT recommended aka do not visit the place where my munich pictures are stored. it is my still growing 'walking in munich album' with 1,000+ pictures. the sheer number of pictures + years covered would make you feel sick 😱
