Category:Eisbach surfing, Urban surf spot in Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
Description
The Eisbach surfing spot is a place to ride waves in Munich's English Garden, where the river creates a permanent standing wave. This wave forms due to the specific design of the riverbed and remains consistently active throughout the year.
History
The spot came into being in 1972 when engineers built a concrete channel from the Eisbach to the Isar River, accidentally creating the wave. Surfers quickly recognized the potential and transformed it into a popular gathering place.
Culture
The spot brings together surfers and onlookers who gather along the banks throughout the year to watch riders navigate the standing wave. It has become a place where locals and visitors meet to share in a unique form of water sports entertainment.
Practical
The spot is freely accessible and you can watch surfers from the banks without any special arrangements. If you want to try surfing yourself, changing facilities and equipment rental are available in the nearby area.

Winter surfers brave the freezing water and wear specialized neoprene gear to stay warm while riding the wave. This dedication is visible daily as athletes push themselves to practice their skills even in harsh conditions.
