We wandered around the centre of Munich eventually entering the inner courtyard of the Neues Rathaus. As we walked I suddenly realised we were on a labyrinth which was partly hidden by many small tables and chairs.

We set off to find a high enough place from which to photograph and ended up on the ninth floor of the Rathaus’s tower from which we had a wonderful view of the labyrinth as well as the city and its environs for miles around.

It was such a gift to discover a beautifully constructed labyrinth so unexpectedly. It drew me down to walk the path, squeezing past the odd chair and table as I walked.

Leaving the courtyard we enjoyed the extremely funny gargoyle at the side of an arched stone doorway.

We lingered the rest of the afternoon in Marienplatz listening to a jazz trio, whilst sipping a German beer. We caught the last warmth of the sun as we headed back to where we were staying.
