Alte Heide-Hirschau

Munich

The Eisbach is a river that flows through the English Garden, and the river surfing can be found on the southern end of the park.   The Eisbach is actually a man-made river, and the standing wave where the river surfing takes place is around a meter high. Since it is a standing wave, surfers can stay on it for as long as they’re able to keep their balance because it doesn’t ebb and flow like ocean waves.

River surfing technically wasn’t allowed until 2010, when it was officially legalized, but surfers have used it since 1972. Now they even hold surfing competitions here.

Internet great. Breakfast fantastic. Great location to train station/S/U bahn. Only down side make sure you bring a converter adapter since no USB or US style plugs in room. I swear last time I stayed here they had one in the bathroom for your razor, but I was wrong.
