    When in Munich don’t miss the river surfing at the English Garden (entrance by the Haus der Kunst).
    Despite being many hundreds of kilometres from the nearest ocean, Munich has a reputation as a surfing hotspot. It is highly entertaining to watch the local surfers and take great photos of them riding the artificial waves. When you have had enough take a stroll in the English Garden and stop at the Chinese Tower beer garden for a bite to eat and a lovely local beer. Bliss.

    Eisbach (artificial river) at the Haus der Kunst, on the edge of the English Garden, this is the main wave.
