What you'll see
A huge park of meadows, streams and woods running north from the old town. At its southern tip, surfers usually take turns on a standing wave in the fast Eisbach stream; further in are a little round temple on a hill and a wooden Chinese tower with a beer garden.
A brief history
It was laid out from 1789 and is one of the world's biggest city parks, larger than New York's Central Park. The river surfing began as an unofficial pastime and became a Munich sight.
