So far this year's Oktoberfest is easy to sum up: good atmosphere, a little fewer people and unfortunately also horrible weather.
A video shows what you can do then.
Munich - halftime at the Wiesn.
The first Oktoberfest since 2019 is running, a first interim balance showed: There were slightly fewer guests than in 2019 at the Theresienwiese, the "Oide Wiesn" in particular has met the reduced interest so far.
The fear of Corona is probably holding some people back, but the horrible weather, which prevails continuously with the exception of a few days, certainly also plays a role.
A video is now circulating on Twitter showing a visitor who doesn't seem to care about the bad weather at the Wiesn.
It inspires him to make a very special contribution.
Oktoberfest: Video shows visitors with a special "insert" - persistent rain remains
The profile "Damian" uploaded the video to his Twitter channel.
To see: A man dressed in traditional costume, sitting on the asphalt floor of the Theresienwiese - in the pouring rain.
In the middle of a puddle he stretches his legs forward and mimes a rower.
"Improvisation during a thunderstorm over the Wiesn", the author entitled the video.
The short film dates back to 2017, and the user writes: "It's been five years since there was a stationary thunderstorm with heavy rain over the Theresienwiese.
It's raining today too, but in no way compared to back then."
Nevertheless, the video is almost symbolic of this year's Wiesn: bad weather and still a good mood.
Unfortunately, Petrus does not mean well with Munich in the second half of the Oktoberfest either.
Continuous rain and cool temperatures are forecast for most of the time.
Even mulled wine is sold from now on.
But as the "Ruderer" shows: Good mood often does not depend on the weather, it is usually just a question of the right attitude.
