When you hear the name Munich what comes to mind? The world’s best Lagers? Bier gartens the size of fusball fields? Maybe you’re a history buff and you think of darker things. One thing you won't think of is surfing.
It’s after lunch and the group I’m with leaves the bier garten in Munich’s Englischer Garten. We’ve got some time before our next stop at the Deutsches Museum so some of us decide to walk. One of my companions mentions something she specifically wants to see: a standing wave on the Eisbach, an artificial branch of the Isar fluss (river). It’s here that some locals in this land-locked state practice their surfing skills.
I don’t know much about this and didn’t think to ask any of the surfers at the time. If you’re curious, you can read the wikipedia article. Meanwhile, here are some pictures I took.
