Many people lost their lives after being identified as having taken a longer path in a silent rebellion.
How do I know this? The free historical walking tour of Munich. It’s is a great way to familiarize yourself with the history, the architecture and a thriving Bavarian culture, rich in history and full of secrets waiting to be uncovered, by you!
