Surf's up, Munich, Germany. It's the last thing one expects to see in landlocked Munich, but here it is: surfing. No, it's not the result of global warming... it's the Eisbach, a brook flowing through Munich's largest park, the English Garden.

In this spot, the water forms a forceful current, perfect for riding back and forth across the three-meter span.

I'm told that almost any time of the year you can see brave souls lined up at the bank, taking turns. More about the best place to surf in Munich here.
