Did you know, that you can go surfing in Munich?

Munich is several hundred miles away from the next ocean. Munich is likely not the first place that comes to mind when you think of surfing.
Yes, it’s possible!
We just discovered, that many locals (and world travelers) go river surfing in Munich. There are 3 surfing spots in the city of beer.

The pro’s usually use the Eisbach, an artifical river in the heart of Englischer Garten (a recreation area with meadows, beer garden and museums), to catch a wave. It has become known as a famous tourist attraction. In the summer, tourists often stop and take photos of the river surfers. Another famous surfing spot in Munich is the Flosslaende.

Next time you visit Germany, make sure you visit the English Garden in Munich. It’s impressive.
