Munich Olympic Park Olympiapark

 
The 20th Summer Olympic Games were held in Munich in 1972, the necessary facilities being assembled between 1967 and 1972 on an area of some 2.7million sq.m/3.2million sq.yd on the Oberwiesenfeld, once a training ground for the Royal Bavarian army and later an airfield. Incorporated into the site is an artificial hill almost entirely composed of rubble from the last war.

The Olympic Park is now a multi-functional recreation area with an appeal far exceeding that of the usual sports arena or tourist attraction. A variety of major events are held there (e.g. the Summer Festival in August and the Tollwood Arts Festival), attended by an ever-increasing number of visitors.

Indoor activities include soccer and ice skating. Outdoor activities include tennis and running.
