MyPictureSunday#7 - Surfing in Munich! Do you like water activities?

in photography •  8 years ago 

Hello my Steemian friends and welcome to another episode of MyPictureSunday!

As most of you know I had a short city trip to Munich. I felt like I didn't show you the true beauty of this city. Driving through Munich with a bicycle I rented, I came to a place where people were surfing! Yeah right, people surfing in the middle of Munich. The local river is called Isar and flows through Austria and Bavaria. At this part of the river, they built an artificial wave called the Eisbach Wave. If you want to know more about it, here is some more information.





Look at the crowd in the background! A real tourist attraction_

Not even did people surf but also swim! There was such a strong current that people were literally shooting through the water! Unfortunately I had no swim gear with me.




In my last MyPictureSunday post I asked you whether you like urban or nature. Munich offers the best of both! Approximately one to two hours away from the Alps, lots of parks in the city and a great night life.




If you are a town, keep it clean! They even have these little fancy reminders for you.


Thanks for reading my post and that you spend time on Steemit! I would love to hear and get in touch with you! This week I will show you some new Myth or Facts, photography from London and a new Crypto Challenge! Don't miss it!

How did you spend your weekend? Let me know!
Steem on, Tim!

Nice shots. You've inspired me to finally get around to post about my recent trip to the English Garden, which might interest you!?

I used to live in Munich, you're making me miss the city! I hope you had fun!

Oh!!!! The surfing river is in Munich??? Wow, I knew it existed but not that it was in Germany, I thought it was in France or in the United Kingdom (dont ask me why). Ok, one more reason to visit Munich :) Thanks for sharing @timsaid

The London pictures will be a new level :)

wow looks so nice! I think I need to go to Munich

Ok, now I have to go back to Munich and try this. That looks like far too much fun!

Ach ja, der Eisbach ^^ Immer wieder schön :)

Wow! Super cool shots, I dig your blog!!! Have you surfed all over the world!!? That first shot is epic!

Nice photos man!

What was your favorite part of the trip?

Definitely the food, lol

What were the meals like?

So let me get this straight - you can surf right through Munich and snack on monster pretzels? Wow, where do I sign up? ;)

What do you want more?! :D

More Bavaria, more of everything! :D

Wow amazing photos thanks for sharing

Awesome pics and great scenery. I am jealous of your skills and location.

Hello my friend
Beautiful photos

saugut. Die stehende Welle^^

Thank you for your posting
It was unexpected place to enjoy surfing.
I 'd like to visit Munich.

I agree, not a usual place to expect surfers - in the middle of a huge town :)
You will definitely like Munich.

Thanks for having a look and writing a comment my friend!

Nice post and lovely pictures!

I lived in the Schwabing area of Munich many years ago (for about 2 years). Munich is such a great city to explore and I really liked the people. They were always so helpful as I struggled to speak German. I wish they had this surfing while I was there. That looks awesome!

I agree, people here are very kind and helpful! And nice gif, a know a driver that went 280 km/h and scared me like hell...

Keep sharing... Nicely captured

Oh, this is so awesome! How did you find out about this or is it a standard tourist attraction over there? Thanks for sharing! Munich just scored higher on the 'to see' list.

Was a coincidence :) simply by walking through the city I found it

Beautiful.

Such a beautiful @timsaid I really loved the vibe. I love water although could never swim but I had no fear escaped death from drowning quite a few times. I felt being in company of mother nature and experienced her unconditional love whenever I could managed to get in water. Now I can swim a little. Nyway Great Post. Cheers!!!!

Artificial waves is an awesome idea! No need to wait for the wave, every moment is a perfect time to surf. Thanks for sharing @timsaid

Good

nice pics i like it

Some of my favorite spots in Munich here! Great stuff, makes me so nostalgic.

That looks so cool. I'd love to visit Germany someday. I love the way they talk.

that's awesome! I surf almost everyday, but have never done it in a river. Might need to take a trip there just to see it. Do you know how long surfers had to wait for their turn?

Looks nice! But if you really want to surf you should come to the island of surf (fuerteventura ;) )

Wow very beautiful

That seem so fun.
I really never thought one could surf in such a place XD

Wow dude absolutely fabulous photo's. Looks like this might be a very nice destination for a holiday one day.

Keep up the good work.

Added to my bucket list. LOL

I never imagined that a person could surf in such a narrow space. Thanks for expanding my view.

Cool place

Amazing! 😉.That big waves tho I can't swim. 🌊 😀 Voted Up!

Thanks 👋

Jetzt war ich aber sehr früh beim Voten :-) - ja, die Eisbachwelle ist schon was, man kommt gar nicht mehr so hin wenn man hier wohnt.

really surfing looks dangerous to me. i wanted to do it but always scared of it. maybe someday i will get that courage to go for it.

I never tried it so far, will do soon

Totally Wicked, Awesome Amazing, Wow...
What an experience.

Spectacular photos I love the water that place so beautiful :o i love it .Follow me.

Definitely beautiful

@tony2throwed check it out!

great stuff :)

Thanks :)

An artificial wave machine outdoors? It's amazing! I cannot swim so I would mostly likely join the other tourists.

No machine, the just put some rocks there I think

Wow. That's even better.

steamer guy, like this spot

I am gonna try this adventure very soon. Your post has ignited a spark within me, thanx for sharing.

Great to hear!

very beautiful photos, thank you for sharing this stuff! :)

Omg I love it! That is awesome! Go Germany!

looking good, where abouts is that in Munich?
have been there twice my self but didn't had much time for sight seeing

nice....your post deserve my upvote and resteem....

Looks like fun... Gotta come to Munich to try it out :D

Cool find!

Thanks for refreshing my memory, I loved to be there in summer when I was living in Munich :-)

its awesome! you seem to have enjoyed alot

I will remember this while attending municipal meetings about a local river.

It's such clever idea to create an arificial wave this way. I think the possibility of someone being hurt while using it will discourage building one in my particular city though.

Das ist ja so cool, wenn das mal keinen Trip wert.
Ich gehe am liebsten in die Wanne ;) Spaß bei Seite, am.liebazen schwimme ich. Surfen würde mich mal interessieren, hab mich bis jetzt aber nicht getraut.
Danke für den post

München <3 niceee :)

This artificial wave i love the most and again stunning pictures but the wave in the city my son will love that
