Quick question: would you ever associate Munich with surfing? While this might sound strange given the fact that this German city is landlocked, surfing in Munich is quite the popular activity. River surfing, that is.
Case in point with the Eisbach surfers. For over 35 years, the churning wall of water that surfaces at the Eisbach bridge has attracted surfers from all over the world. While anyone can try to catch a wave, only experienced surfers are encouraged to get in the water, as the rocks and strong currents make this constricted space rather a dangerous endeavor.
The great part about this surfers' scene is how it's located just a short walk from the English Garden, one of the largest city parks in the world. So after cheering on the experts in the wetsuits, feel free to make your way to the expansive green space that's even larger than New York City's Central Park. With over 900 acres at your fingertips, you'll have plenty of opportunity to relish some fresh air.
