River Isar

Enjoy the waters of the Soul of Munich – River Isar runs through the centre of Munich and splits the city into half. The river and riverbanks provide abundant recreational opportunities to the locals, and as well as tourists. The river receives its water flow from the Alpine regions in Austria. Fishing in fresh river water is one of the favourite activities of the Bavarians. You can spot the fishermen lining up the banks, waiting for a catch. The naked Bavarians are known to occupy the river banks for sunbathing, whereas other areas get packed by families enjoying picnics during the summer. The Eisbach is one of the most popular spots by River Isar for surfing enthusiasts. The River rafting or easy floating on wooden boards is another favourite activity of youngsters who float lazily on a board. If you are looking for a relaxing time, pack a picnic basket, grab some beer and sausages, and park yourself at the river bank. This is the best Bavarian experience you can get in Munich!
