Bavaria Cup Karlsfeld, Germany - 03 untill 04 April 2010 (Easter) (de)

The Karlsfeld area offers a lot more than just football. The organisation of the Bavaria Cup is well aware of that, which explains why the programme offers plenty of room for team outings. To Munich’s old town centre, for instance, or the impressive Allianz Arena, the new home base of German football giants Bayern Munich, which served as the kick-off location for the football World Championships in June 2006. The battle for the Bavaria Cup starts on Friday afternoon, after the teams report in Karlsfeld. In the evening, the team leaders are welcomed by the Mayor of Karlsfeld in person at a reception. On Saturday, the participants have an early start with the opening ceremony and a brief parade. The qualifiers are held on Saturday, the ranking matches and the finals on Sunday. On Saturday night, the choice is yours, as the programme provides a convenient gap. On Sunday evening, the cup is handed to the winners during the big goodbye party.

Karlsfeld, a town of 18,000 residents, is slightly north of Munich is a friendly football town with good public transport connections to Munich. Nearby is the Karlsfelder See, a large recreational lake with the neighbouring Sportpark. This is the home base of TSV Eintracht Karlsfeld sports association, but also the location of the local sports facilities, tennis courts, swimming baths, football and skating etc.

Munich, only 3 miles from Karlsfeld, is the bustling capital of Bavaria, in southern Germany, only 45 miles from the Austrian border and home to more than a million people. The city has something to suit all tastes. The old city centre, the Marienplatz, is easily accessible on the underground and is the ideal spot from which to explore Munich. Traditional Bavarian architecture, many shops in the partially pedestrianised centre. The nearby Viktualienmarkt, a traditional market, is a meeting place for young and old alike. When weather permits, the long wooden tables here are soon filled with people who come to eat sausages and drink beer. An important district for entertainment is Schwabing, to the north of the centre. Behind the Leopoldstrasse you'll find the Münchener Freiheit, of which the nightlife is well known not only in Munich but also much further afield.

Olympiapark is the spacious and attractive Olympic stadium built for the 1972 Olympic Games, former home of the Bayern Munchen football club. The stadium, hall, swimming bath and tennis park are open to everyone. There are daily tours with a guide, and large events and concerts are regularly organised in the park. There are also a number of restaurants here, including the revolving restaurant at the top of the Olympiaturm tower. 290 metres above ground level. Eating here is certainly worth the effort.

Allianz Arena. The opening of the Allianz Arena has added a major attraction to Munich’s list of must-sees. The new football stadium serves as FC Bayern Munich’s new home base as of the 2005/2006 season, and it is also the opening location of the World Championships on 9 June 2006. The new, hyper-advanced stadium is an absolute eye-catcher with its transparent dome that can be lit in various colours and it is visible from miles away. The new stadium has a capacity of 66,000 seats. See also www.allianz-arena.de.
