The Eisbach Wave in Munich's English Garden is a very special attraction that has drawn surf fans and spectators from all over the world for 40 years.
The wave at the entrance to the English Garden, right next to the Haus der Kunst, is not only one of the largest and most consistent river waves in a major city, but also a meeting point for all those who simply admire surfers or even want to catch the wave themselves.
However, the Eisbach wave requires a lot of surfing experience and is not for the inexperienced, as the water is shallow and the current is extremely strong.
For beginners and those with little experience, the ferry landing in Thalkirchen is a suitable place to practice, as the conditions there are less challenging.
IMPORTANT: Surfing is currently not possible – the closure following an accident in April 2025 remains in effect until a legally compliant and permanently secure solution for the business is found.
