How to: Slowvember in Munich
Whether it’s a walk, a visit to the café or a good book – use this time to consciously enjoy yourself and slow down. November may often seem grey, but with a pinch of cosiness and mindfulness, it can become a real feel-good month. Make yourself comfortable, treat yourself to some time out and discover the beauty of peace and quiet.
We reveal how you can really enjoy Slowvember in Munich:
Decelerating autumn walks
November has a special magic – the colours of the autumn leaves and the fresh, clear air. A leisurely stroll through the park or nature is almost like a little time-out. Whether alone or with your loved ones, a walk offers the perfect opportunity to switch off. An extra tip: take a thermos flask of hot tea or cocoa with you and take a short break along the way.
Café visits and hot tea or cocoa
Is there anything better than going to a cosy café on a cold November day? The smell of freshly brewed coffee, candlelight and cake instantly make us forget the cold temperatures. How about trying out a new café that you’ve always wanted to visit? Take a good book with you, meet up with a friend or simply sit by the window and watch the people go by. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a cappuccino or hot chocolate in peace and quiet.
Ice skating – get out on the ice!
For the more active and cosy, November is often the perfect time to get out your skates. Ice skating is not only a nostalgic winter pleasure, but also brings a lot of fun and exercise to the chilly days. From November onwards, many cities offer romantically illuminated ice rinks, often with Christmas music and mulled wine stands around them. So if you fancy a bit of winter magic, grab your skates and take a few laps!
Books and films for the soul
November is the perfect time to snuggle up with a good book or film. Many of us rush around all year round, and Slowvember invites us to pause and relax. Whether it’s a classic or a new book you’ve been meaning to read, now is the time. Maybe even by candlelight or with a cosy blanket. Films and series that warm the heart also go wonderfully with the Slowvember mood.
Treat yourself – spa moments at home
It doesn’t always have to be a big spa weekend to pamper yourself. Treat yourself to an evening with a relaxing bath, a face mask and perhaps a soothing scented oil. Slowvember is the time to do yourself some good and let your body and mind come to rest. A little feel-good evening can work wonders and is the perfect counterbalance to grey November days.
