Eisbach surfer Springtime Playboater on the Eisbach. Eisbachwelle, is just past a bridge near the Haus der Kunst art museum, where the river forms a standing wave about one metre high which is a popular river surfing spot.
The force of the flow along an uneven river bed allows a standing wave to form, and the surfer to be able to ride the wave successfully.
