About Waldeck Tournament Days Miesbach
Waldecker Tournament Days in Miesbach – A medieval adventure in the heart of Bavaria
From 7 to 9 August, Waitzinger Park in Miesbach will once again be transformed into a dazzling spectacle of medieval chivalry. The Waldecker Tournament Days have long since established themselves as a must-see event for anyone seeking a genuine knightly show full of authenticity and action. This is where tradition and entertainment come together – and the audience is right in the thick of it!
The region around Miesbach looks back on a long history. As far back as the Middle Ages, this area south of Munich was the scene of power struggles and knightly festivals. Today’s event builds on this legacy and brings back the atmosphere of those days – not in a kitsch way, but with a clear attention to detail and performance.
What to expect: spectacular combat scenes with horses and lances, crafts and market stalls that transport visitors back to times long past. Habererplatz and Waitzinger Park offer plenty of space to stroll comfortably from stall to stall, circle the combat arena and soak up the atmosphere. Whether you’re a newcomer or a long-time re-enactment fan – there’s something for everyone here.
The Waldeckers themselves are an established medieval group, known for their attention to detail and their involvement in major events. When they organise their own tournament days, you can be sure there is genuine passion behind it. The battles follow classic tournament rules; the show is well-structured and full of excitement.
Whilst you watch, you can stock up on medieval handicrafts – from leather goods and jewellery to handmade weapons and armour pieces. Delicacies such as meat skewers, mead and other historical treats are available at every turn. Anyone wishing to come in costume is welcome here.
Practical information: The event takes place over three days (Friday to Sunday). The exact timetable and ticket prices should be checked directly on the website – there you will find all the latest details and possibly also discounts for early bookers or group tickets.
How to get there: Miesbach is located about 50 km south-east of Munich and is easily accessible by car or train. Waitzinger Park is centrally located and has ample parking.
Conclusion: If you’re looking for an authentic medieval jousting tournament in the summer, this is the place for you. The Waldeck Tournament Days offer action, history and a sense of community – all the ingredients for a successful weekend.
