Englischer Garten

The Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany, is a large public park. It is currently newsworthy due to the reappearance of the Eisbachwelle, a standing wave in the Eisbach river within the park. The Eisbachwelle is a popular spot for surfers and attracts many spectators. The wave had disappeared following a stream diversion last autumn and had not reformed consistently since. Recent attempts to restore the wave were underway. The wave's unexpected return just before Easter has drawn surfers and onlookers to the Englischer Garten. The reappearance of the Eisbachwelle is significant because it is a unique urban surfing location and a popular tourist attraction in Munich.
