Munich, or M\u00fcnchen<\/i> to the locals, is the capital of Bavaria located on the river Isar and is a city rich in history and wonderful for travelling. Often bringing to mind beer tents and Oktoberfest, Munich has a lot more to offer. Here\u2019s a list of just some of the interesting things you can do while in the city:<\/p>\n

1. Go surfing at Eisbach.<\/h3>\n

Eisbach is an artificial stream (more like a small river) that flows through the Englischer Garten, and has a somewhat unusual use: surfing. The waves are artificial and surfers flock there from near and far to surf in Munich\u2019s made-made surfing paradise.The weather doesn\u2019t matter to these hardcore enthusiasts either, as the Eisbach runs all year long. Be careful though, as this is not a place for beginner surfers, and the rocks and concrete used to make up the Eisbach can be dangerous. If you\u2019re not a surfer yourself, you can always take a walk through the gardens and stop to watch some incredibly talented people do their thing \u2013 like this guy,\u00a0Maximilian Schwarzkopf, going for a night surf:<\/span><\/p>\n
