Things To Do
in Hohenbrunn

Small-town market days in nearby towns sell fresh produce, cheeses and baked goods; try seasonal vegetables, regional honey and local bread.

If you travel into Munich, sample international street food markets and weekly food stalls offering everything from crêpes to Asian-styled dishes.

Being on time is important for appointments and social engagements — people value punctuality in both business and private life.

Use formal 'Sie' when meeting people you don't know; wait to be offered the informal 'du'. A handshake is a common polite greeting.

Observe Ruhezeiten (quiet hours), especially Sundays and late evenings; follow strict recycling rules and sort waste into the correct bins.

Keep noise down near residential areas, clean up after picnics or walks, and follow local rules around public parks and protected areas.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; round up the bill or leave 5–10% for good service in restaurants. For taxis, you can round up or add about 5–10% and in cafés it’s common to round to the nearest euro.

Card payments (girocard/EC, Maestro, Visa/Mastercard) and contactless/mobile payments are widely accepted, especially in supermarkets and larger restaurants. Smaller shops and some traditional inns may prefer cash, so keep some euros on hand.

Mild weather, blooming meadows and fewer tourists; ideal for cycling and walks. Some rain is likely, so bring a light waterproof layer. Local markets begin stocking spring vegetables and asparagus (Spargel) season is a highlight.

Warm, often sunny days perfect for beer gardens, lakes and outdoor activities; expect local festivals on weekends. Mosquitoes can appear near water and afternoon thunderstorms are possible.

Crisp air, colorful foliage and mushroom season in nearby forests; harvest festivals and Oktoberfest-like events continue in the region. Layers are advisable as temperatures can swing between warm days and chilly mornings.

Cold with possible snow; the town is quiet and scenic in snow, and nearby Munich provides Christmas markets. If you plan Alpine day trips, check road and rail conditions and bring warm clothing.

The main international airport serving the region, about 30–45 minutes by car or public transport depending on traffic — offers extensive international and domestic connections.

Further away (about 1.5–2 hours by car); used mainly by some low-cost carriers and charter flights — practical for some budget travel itineraries but less convenient than Munich Airport.

Many residents commute to Munich for work, making up a substantial portion of the population.

Hohenbrunn attracts families seeking quiet residential life, good schools and green spaces.

As in many Bavarian towns, there is a stable community of long-term, often older residents with deep local ties.

A growing number of international residents working in Munich’s economy or at the airport live in surrounding towns like Hohenbrunn.

Vegetarian options are increasingly common (salads, pasta, cheese dishes, and seasonal vegetable mains). Mention 'vegetarisch' when ordering; local inns can usually adapt dishes on request.

Vegan choices are more limited in small-town restaurants but available in cafés and supermarkets; larger nearby Munich restaurants and specialty shops offer broader vegan menus.

Ask for 'glutenfrei' options — bakeries and restaurants may offer gluten-free bread or adapt dishes, but always confirm cross-contamination if you have celiac disease.

Carry a translated allergy card in German if you have serious allergies and inform restaurant staff; pharmacies and medical services are accessible in the region if needed.
