    Hiking

    Interesting spectacle as the brave surfers plunge into the water in the middle of the city and ride the wave with great skill. Entertaining variety on a city tour.

    Hiking

    Following a tragic accident, it is currently closed (June 2025).

    The Eisbachwelle is a standing wave in the Eisbach River at the southern edge of the English Garden and is known worldwide as an urban surfing spot. People have been surfing there since the 1970s – right in the city center and throughout the year. The approximately one-meter-high wave was created by technical installations in the stream and has been modified over time to ensure it is permanently surfable. Today, the Eisbachwelle is a popular meeting place for surfers and spectators and symbolizes Munich's sporting diversity.
