Surfing
Who needs the ocean or a beach when you can surf in the englischer garten? near haus der kunst, the eisbach creates a standing wave. during the summer time, there are always a lot of surfers at this spot. as the wave is not created intentionally, there is no possibility to rent surfboards. the location is on the north side of prinzregentenstrasse at the crossing of bruderstrasse. it is about 5 blocks from the lehel u-bahn station, or take tram 17 to nationalmuseum/haus der kunst.
Bicycling
