iReport — ...SPECKBRETT 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. Bored at camp one hot summer day, the sport began when locals literally raided the kitchen looking for ideas. They've modernized the sport slightly since then, and they've designed several courts in Munster devoted only to it.  There's also a World Championship of Speckbrett every August. But Wimbledon it is not. Despite hundreds of players and thousands of fans, it's really only Munsterites in attendance... They say it's not meant to be a secret though. Everyone is welcome to try a slice at Bacon Board...so long as they remember where it was first cooked up... WATCH and meet one of Munster's lifelong Speckbrett players.. More info:www.speckbrett.de ---------------- Why not visit Munster and see it in person?www.muenster.de And, as I discovered, there's sooooo much more to Germany than most people know.
