The Monopterus in the English Garden

Munich Blog from Cat and Danny from Manchester.

We had a brilliant time watching the surfers of Munich by the southern tip of the park up in the English Garden just south of the ‘Monopteros‘.
We got there on our bikes that we hired from ‘Mikes Bike tours’ for a competitive price of 15 euros each for the day. They gave us a free large map and some bike routes. From the bike shop we took a right, then a left and rode down the ‘Tal’ road, over ‘Ludwigs Bridge’ took a left through the park and crossed back over the river a couple of bridges later at ‘Luitpold Bridge’. We then followed the river all the way up to the ‘Hirshau Beer Garden’ and made our way along bike path via the ‘Munich Hilton’ to the ‘Chinesischer Turm‘  – The Chinese Gardens.

The Chinese Tower with the nice beergarden.

We choose to picnic shortly after this by a bridge in the park where three river ways met, it was a very pretty spot. We then set out to find the surfing area. When we found it down by the ‘Prinzregentenstrasse‘ and we were absolutely fascinated!  We sat for a good 40 minutes with a beer amazed by the powerful current of the river and the bravery of the crazy surfers that kept on going back for more and more surf!  Incredible to watch!  And apparently whether its rain or shine these guys and girls are on it having a great time on the Isar Wave !!!!

Thanks Christine,  keep in touch.   xxx
