Lonely Planet review for Theresienwiese
The Theresienwiese, better known as 'Wiesn', is the site of the Oktoberfest. At the western end of the meadow is the Ruhmeshalle (Hall of Fame) guarding solemn statues of Bavarian leaders, as well as the statue of Bavaria, an 18m-high Amazon in the Statue of Liberty tradition, oak wreath in hand and lion at her feet. This iron lady has a cunning design that makes her seem solid, but actually you can climb via the knee joint up to the head for a great view of the Oktoberfest.
At other times, views are not particularly inspiring.
