Germany's Bizarre Sport of..."Bacon Board"?
It's actually called...SPECKBRETT
But if you understand German, you'll know that this literally means "bacon board."
Play BACON BOARD?
Yes.
And yes...it really is the one from the kitchen.
Germans are known to be quite innovative engineers and Munsterites have proven their hunger for swift, creative engineering is truly endless.
It seems that in the small German city of Munster, the people have taken up BACON BOARD as a sport. While it has a few overlaps with tennis, it's a whole lot quirkier. And they are quite proud of it.
WATCH and meet one of Munster's lifelong Speckbrett players..
And why not visit Munster and see it in person?
