Why Eisbach Wave matters
At the edge of the English Garden, a small channel creates a river wave right in the heart of the city. Surfers line up to take turns on it throughout the year, and a crowd gathers on the bridge to watch. It's only for experienced surfers, so spectators are the right role for most visitors.
Talking points
- Surfers ride the wave all year
- It is for experienced surfers only
- Spectators watch from a bridge
