A painted Bavarian maypole (Maibaum) in central Olching—colorful crests, carved figures and ribbon details make strong vertical compositions. Best at May Day festivals when it’s decorated and raised; otherwise good for close-ups of craftsmanship. Visit at golden hour or soft overcast for even color; weekday mornings have fewer people. Street parking nearby on Neu-Estinger Str.; no entry fee. Cultural highlight of local spring traditions.
