The Commerzbank-Arena is a sports stadium in Frankfurt, Germany. Commonly known by its original name, Waldstadion ("Forest Stadium"), the stadium opened in 1925. The stadium has been upgraded several times since then; the most recent remodelling was its redevelopment as a football-only stadium in preparation for the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Live Webcam at the Munich Oktoberfest Festival

Wiesn Beer Tents at the Munich Oktoberfest Festival

Oktoberfest is a 16-day festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to early October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.

The Munich Oktoberfest, traditionally, takes place during the sixteen days up to and including the first Sunday in October. In 1994, the schedule was modified in response to German reunification so that if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or 2nd, then the festival will go on until October 3 (German Unity Day). Thus, the festival is now 17 days when the 1st Sunday is October 2 and 18 days when it is October 1. The festival is held on an area named the Theresienwiese (field, or meadow, of Therese), often called d’ Wiesn for short.

Zugspitze Summit View, towards Alpspitze, site of the Alpspix viewing tower

Summit of the Zugspitze, towards Alpspitze, site of the Alpspix viewing tower

One of the more popular ski resorts in the alpine region on Bavaria, the Zugsptize and Alpspitze mountains have been enhanced by a new attraction.

Visitors can enjoy a mountain experience with a difference from the observation deck AlpspiX. At the foot of Alpspitze steel arms extend both in the form of an "X" 13 meter free-floating over the abyss - once prone and once down the sky towards the direction of the Zugspitze.

There is a series of webcam views of the area, allowing remote viewing of this dramatic scene.
