Viktualinemarkt 1 January 2024

Munich, a city with its own charm and diverse offerings, presents a myriad of options for exploration. While the city is usually alive with its vibrant markets and traditional beerhouses, our visit on January 1st painted a different picture. Many places were closed for the New Year, prompting us to head to the Englischer Garten.

This expansive park, known for its serenity and beauty, held a surprise that was new and intriguing to me—the Eisbach River with its artificial wave. As we strolled through the park, the river unfolded itself, and in its initial stretch, a stream created a perfect wave. What made it even more fascinating was that surfers were taking full advantage of this unique setup.

Surrounded by the tranquility of the Englischer Garten, these athletes, even on the first day of the year, were passionately riding the wave, engaged in their sport just within the heart of the city. It was a remarkable sight, offering a blend of urban life and an unexpected sports culture. The park, usually a serene retreat, had transformed into an arena of active recreation, proving that Munich has surprises in store for every kind of explorer, even on the quieter days of the year.

The captivating turquoise streams of the Eisbach meander gracefully through the park, unfurling a picturesque landscape that never fails to enchant. This scenic spot has become one of my personal favorites, a place where I often find solace and inspiration.

Taking a seat by the tranquil banks, I lose myself in the gentle flow of the streams. The melody of the rippling water creates a soothing backdrop, and the interplay of light and shade adds a touch of magic to the surroundings. It's a perfect setting for contemplation and reflection.

As an artist, I'm drawn to the unique beauty that this spot offers. The ever-changing patterns in the water, the dance of sunlight on the surface, and the interwoven branches of overhanging trees—all of these elements weave together a mesmerizing tapestry that I often attempt to capture on canvas.


This hidden gem within the park not only provides a visual feast for the senses but also serves as a serene studio for my artistic endeavors. It's a place where nature's artistry unfolds in every ripple, and where my brushes find their rhythm amid the calming cadence of the Eisbach.
