Kick-off: Stroll in the English Garden + Dinner at Papa Benz—who's joining?

Meet at 4.30 PM for the stroll (daylight until ~6 PM), walk 1–1.5 hours, then head to dinner ~6–7.30 PM

Stroll details:

• Start point: Meet at the steps of Haus der Kunst (easy U-Bahn: Odeonsplatz)
• Route: Casual loop—Eisbach wave for surfer-watching, up to Monopteros for views, along paths to Chinese Tower beer garden (if open/you want a quick drink), or lakeside spots. Keep it relaxed (3–5 km max); paths are flat/gravel, accessible.
• Tips: Dress in layers (wind can feel cooler), bring water; dogs welcome if anyone has one.

Dinner at Papa Benz:

• Location: Leopoldstraße 50, Schwabing (short walk from northern/central park areas or quick public transport).
• Vibe: Cozy tavern with traditional Bavarian/Austrian reinterpretations, bar area —warm lighting, wooden tables, great for conversation.
