City Investigates Adjustment of Levels After Disappearance of Munich's Eisbach Wave - Munich to Restore Iconic Eisbach Wave by 2026
The Eisbach 'wave', Munich's renowned river surfing spot, has been a major tourist attraction for four decades. After a recent failure to reform following a riverbed clearance, the city is taking action to restore the world's most consistent and largest river 'wave' in a major city.
The Eisbach river, which flows through Munich's English Garden, is fed by the Fabrikbach, a branch of the Isar river. The Munich Water Management Office, led by Mayor Dieter Reiter, estimates that restoration of the Eisbach 'wave' will be completed by 2026.
After the recent riverbed clearance, the 'wave' failed to re-form, despite no structural modifications being made by the city. To understand the issue, the Water Management Office will conduct flow measurements to verify water level data in the Eisbach. The city has confirmed that no structural changes were made to the riverbed.
The city will involve representatives of the surfing community in the process, keeping them informed of any changes to the water gauge or 'flow'. Based on the findings of the flow measurements, the city will determine control measures to adjust 'flow' rates and water levels in the Eisbach.
The city of Munich is committed to restoring the Eisbach 'wave', a significant tourist attraction and surfing spot. With the involvement of the surfing community and thorough flow measurements, the city aims to ensure the 'wave's' consistent and large nature, making it the best river 'wave' in a major city.
