It was an extremely warm day here in Munich. How to survive? Then we discovered the river Eisbach! This river divides into small and rapid sidestreams flowing trough Englisher Garten. We saw a lot of mostly young people (and some sporty grownup-people) jumping into the streams and they were carreid away rapidly and we lost sight of them! Did they ever get back to their starting point? Oh yes. We saw them strolling around in the park afterwords, probably on their way back to their clothes and belongings. It looked very exiting and thrilling. Unfortunately we had not brought our swimmingsuites then, but next time in a overheated Munich we surelywill try these “watergates”.
We seriously recommend to try this happening, especially after an exhausting day in the shoppingstreets.
In the evening it is very nice to sit outside in the courtyard of the royal palace, named Brunnenhof. It is situated approximately three hundred meters north of Marienplatz. There are often concerts in the summer.
