ESSENTIAL MUNICH

Danann BreathnachPresenter Danann Breathnach explores Germany's third largest city and the capital of Bavaria, Munich. Danann will be donning his Lederhosen and heading into the beer halls to find out what makes the locals tick. His travels also take him surfing in the English Garden, rollerblading with ten thousand Muncheners and delving into some of Munich's more controversial history with trips out of town to Dachau and Neuchwanstein Castle.
