Eisbach is a small man-made rivulet in the city that is a popular site for surfing. The river flows through the English Garden. Near the Haus der Kunst art museum, it forms a large enough wave for surfing. The river is quite turbulent, making swimming here dangerous, though sometimes a few people can be seen in the water. While only experienced surfers are allowed to surf here, it is a fun pastime to watch them at it, balancing their boards and cutting through the waves.
