Nürnberg Volksfest


I guess it would be fair to say the fun began earlier than expected! I encountered this train at the Nürnberg bahnhoff – something from a mini-folk tale I would rather say :o )

The entrance to the fest unfolded with a brilliant view of what lay inside

Never had I imagined a fest could be on such a grand scale. Be it the rides or shops, volksfest offered more than I had bargained for from a simple fair! In fact it had a good balance between the real cute rides, the usual ones and the really hairy-scary ones

Of course we didn’t have the heart (or age ;-) ) to try all the rides, so we simply stuck on to the more palpable ones :-D

Up we Gooooo...

It wasn’t the rides alone that attracted so much attention from us; I mean there were shops too O:-)

After doing three rounds of the whole park we were too damn tired and the imbiss and eateries became our hunting ground.

Of course it wouldn’t do justice if I don’t mention the most attractive piece (at least for me) in the whole fest! I was attracted to the massive structure of the giant wheel even before I got in it to see the amazing view from top
