The biggest medieval festival: Landshuter Hochzeit

The biggest medieval festival I've ever seen takes places in Landshut, this little Bavarian city approx. 70km from Munich.

Practically the whole city turns into a medieval village.

In every corner one can get tasty food and great beer in a very rustic way and for a small donation one can get some of it.

 It commemorates the wedding between Hedwig, the Polish King's daughter, and George, the son of the Duke of Landshut, which happened on 1475.

As a symbol of friendship and attachment all the participants wear or carry the garlands. They are thrown to the public during the pageant.

The Landshut Wedding happens every four years during the  four weekend of Juli.

The gigantic medieval parade, a pageant kind of, starts every Sunday at 2pm.

The entrance to the immense camp costed 2,50€. If one want to be at the arena and watch the knights games and duels it be a bit more costy, something around 30,0€. But the tickets must be booked pretty much on advance.

The Landshit Wedding is an awesome experience and the worthy visitng.

I enjoyed the day greatly in the company of Travis Elenytski. Besides the weathe was more the ideal. Just perfect!

For everyone many greetings in the Landshut way...
