Public holiday in Bavaria: Saturday 15.Aug.2009

Remember to stock up on food and drink for the weekend on Friday kids.
Stores in Bavaria are CLOSED on Saturday.

except anything at the hauptbahnhof, airports or gas stations.

I can never remember if this is one where Austria is open.

Anybody know?

Austria is shut down as well. All you can get is cheap gas.

Austria will be closed too.

Thanks Monkstown for this info.

Holiday tomorrow so get all your food shopping done today.

I so hate this stupid system. A double Sunday weekend. Yuck.

Pas my wife has just informed me too. I have to shop with two nervig children later and I am under the weather today. Wonderful.

Any idea which of the religious festivals it is?

Wrong person to ask about religious holidays.

Assumption of Mary (Mariae Himmelfahrt) ...

Yea, I hear they assume quite a lot about her.

I think I will just have to eat in the big African festival in Aschaffenburg! Yummy!

i apologize for being daft, but all of bavaria is closed tomorrow then, right? just asking cause this was posted in the munich section.

aaaaaargh!! i was planning to come visit munich tomorrow for saturday shopping and weekend chilling! should i just change plans ??

There may well be other Catholic regions of Germany? But I do belive it will be the whole of the Freistaat? Certainly down in Rosenheim and up in Regensburg.

And yes, m23, you should change your plans to the biergarten.

Weekend chilling would still be an option, shopping is definitely off the cards
