10. Wintersport in München Vol. 2 : surfen

Many of you may know, but until I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe that this kind of picture could be taken in Munich.

And yet, the Eisbach, provides in the heart of Munich with a continuous wave to those who dare. Not only because surfing it’s already a tricky activity, but because indeed, the water is ice cold (especially in Winter, of course, but in Summer is not particularly warm either …) and the current can crush you !

This picture is taken from Prinzregentenstraße, between Bruderstraße and Wagmüllerstraße.

Recently I discovered another spot with many surfers. I guess there is not enough room for all of them. If you follow the Eisbach up on the Englischer Garten, you can find it.

It clearly says you shouldn’t be surfing, or kayaking, for that matter, but I think it’s pretty cool that the law enforcement is loose in this case.

Anytime I pass by I spend some time just staring, and I must say it’s hypnotizing ! These are very relaxing places for me in Munich, and I recommend them to you. Especially when the weather will get a little bit warmer !

Enjoy the week !
