D is for Dult

When I visited the Auerdult -- or Dult for short -- last week, I immediately thought that it would be perfect for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday. The Dult is an open air market which takes place on Munich's Mariahilfplatz (Mary Help Square) three times a year. I have written about it on several occasions. The Maidult (May Dult) is the first fair of the year -- just have a look at the fresh green of the trees.

Handmade soaps with amazing scents.

Some of the soaps are very colorful -- it's also a feast for the eyes.

Dried herbs and flowers.

A view of one of the lanes where antique books and commodities are offered.

I can't remember ever having seen anyone in real life with such vivid red hair -- especially in combination with a checkered jacket. Definitely a fashion statement.

Lovely scarfs.

The Mariahilfkirche (Mary Help Church) in the background.

The chairoplane.

The paintings on the chairoplane are beautiful.

Dodgems.

A small Ferris Wheel.

A kids' caroussel with a Route 66 highway truck.

On the left side there's a maypole.

Great tableware.

Let's go inside the Mariahilfkirche.

Looking toward the altar.

A little candle tree.

The Paulaner brewery paid for the first bell of a new carillon.

The details on the bell are amazing -- there's a row of playing kids on the top. It's a bit sad that nearly no one will see them once the bell hangs in the bell tower.

This beautiful heart hangs at the entrance of the church.

Looking over the Dult with its stands.

Cute garden gnomes.

A fantastic elephant plate.

Colorful beads.

More shiny beads and necklaces.

Baskets and bags.

I hope you enjoyed this stroll over the Dult fairground. If you want to see more, just check out my other Dult posts.
