Englischer Garten, Public park in Munich, Germany
The Englischer Garten spans 3.7 square kilometers of landscaped grounds with meadows, forests, and waterways in northeastern Munich along the Isar River.
The garden was established in 1789 under Prince Charles Theodore of Bavaria, with Benjamin Thompson designing the initial layout and Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell completing the landscape.
The Chinese Tower serves as a central meeting point within the park, featuring a traditional German beer garden where visitors gather for meals and celebrations.
Visitors can access the park through multiple entrances near the Universität station on U-Bahn lines U3 and U6, with 78 kilometers of walking paths throughout the grounds.
The Eisbach channel within the park creates a permanent standing wave where surfers practice their skills throughout the year regardless of weather conditions.
