June 17, 2025, Schwabinger Bach Waterfall

The Eisbach and Schwabinger Bach are two artificially created waterways in Munich's English Garden, fed by the Isar River. The Eisbach is best known for its famous standing wave, considered a unique urban surfing spot. The Schwabinger Bach flows through the northern part of the English Garden and is a popular place for walking, relaxing, and water sports. Both streams contribute significantly to the park's recreational and natural atmosphere.

A wonderful view of the Isar! Stop briefly and capture the beautiful perspectives of the river. Ideal place for beautiful photos.

The view from the bridge magically attracts cameras. 100 pictures of the Isar but none of the bridge itself. It's a good thing that Mapillary exists, with street views you can create yourself. https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=395284705905357

Magnificent view of the small waterfall. - The Eisbach wave with the surfers is a little further up, directly on Prinzregentenstrasse. - Walk from here across the large meadow to Monopteros. - By bike: The best route by bike through the English Garden is not easy to find. - Link to the map: https://t1p.de/radlvorrangnetz - “MunichWays” app: - https://t1p.de/Google-MunichWays - https://t1p.de/Apple-MunichWays
