Tour through Bogenhausen: In the Footsteps of Prince Regent Luitpold
Even on rainy or cool days, there is plenty to see and do in Munich. A particularly recommended tour leads from the Haus der Kunst to Prinzregentenplatz. The route follows a path that Prince Regent Luitpold once had built to the high banks of the Isar. The tour is especially recommended for the weekend. On weekdays, you should expect increased traffic. At around 1.3 kilometers, the route itself is not particularly long. However, since the stops along the way include several sights and museums, it is recommended to plan for a full day.
At the opening of the Haus der Kunst
The start of the route can be easily reached with tram 16, which leads directly to the Haus der Kunst in Munich. Here, art enthusiasts will find primarily contemporary exhibitions that change frequently. In addition, the Golden Bar is always worth a visit, even if mainly in the evening hours. Those who do not want to walk the entire route back at the end can therefore simply complete the route in reverse order and end the day in the bar. After the Haus der Kunst, a glance at the bridge right next to the building is worthwhile. From here you have a very great view of the Eisbach surfers. Afterwards, continue along Prinzenregentstraße heading away from the city center until the Bavarian National Museum is reached. The museum houses a variety of art and historical exhibits, with the nativity scene collection standing out in particular, which is unique worldwide.
Additionally, the grounds surrounding the castle-like building offer a variety of inner courtyards and gardens that invite you to take a short break. The museum's café is also a good place for this.
Schack and Stuck
The next stop on the tour of Munich is just a few houses further down. The former palace of the Prussian Embassy houses the collection of Count Schack. This comprises many 19th-century works of art and is a must-visit for art lovers. Afterward, the Isar is crossed, with the bridge itself also being a sight to see with its various bridge figures.
The path leads into the Maximiliansanlage, with the Friedensengel (Angel of Peace) standing out in particular. This was erected as a memorial to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. The park itself is also a popular spot in Munich. In summer, for example, the Friedensengel festival takes place here, while on New Year's Eve the city's residents gather here to celebrate the start of the new year.
Right behind the park is Villa Stuck. Today, the former villa of the "painter prince" Franz von Stuck also houses a museum that features changing exhibitions throughout the year.

The degree in theater
Continuing along the path, the Prinzenregentenstadion can be found on the right-hand side. The facility, which many affectionately call the "Prinze," operates as an outdoor swimming pool in the summer. During the cold months of the year, however, ice skaters get their money's worth as there is an ice rink here then. Directly in the vicinity is the final destination of the tour. The Prinzregententheater has been an integral part of Munich's cultural life since its opening in 1901. Initially built for Wagner operas, it is now the home of the Bavarian Theatre Academy. The state theatres of Munich are alternately responsible for the program. Physical well-being is also taken care of. Thirst and hunger can be satisfied at the Prinzipal restaurant, run by television chef Alfons Schuhbeck.
