Surprisingly, there isn’t an official fireworks display in Munich for New Year’s, even though it was probably the most fireworks I had ever seen on a single occasion.
We decided to enjoy the spectacle from Nockherberg, a hill on the edge of downtown. Plenty of others made the same decision, and brought their fireworks along.
We could hear drumming as we approached Nockherberg. It was Samba Sole Luna, a local group, and they dazzled the crowd for hours.
In addition to all the fireworks being set off a couple feet in front of us, the hill we were on afforded us a view of the bursts of fireworks that were going off all over the city below. It was impressive.
The next morning, the streets were still littered with the remains of the party.
