3) St. Peter’s Church

This is the oldest church in Munich. The church dates from 1100 but was destroyed by fire in 1300. It was later rebuilt in a baroque style.

It is a unique church in which history speaks volumes.

4) The Isar

7) Eisbach

The Eisbach is a small man-made river that flows through the Englischer Garten in the heart of Munich. The mile-long river is a tributary of the Isar and has a man-made wave that attracts surfers worldwide. It gained massive popularity after the 2011 film Keep Surfing. The river’s cold, shallow waters form a standing wave about three feet high on a bridge in the Haus der Kunst and are very popular, with surfers and whitewater kayakers. There is also a second standing wave in the Eisbach, located a few hundred meters downstream, wider and, therefore, a less demanding wave.

8) Linderhof Palace

Linderhof Castle is a beautifully preserved palace near Ettal Abbey in southwestern Bavaria. Also known as the Royal Villa, Linderhof Palace is the smallest of the three castles constructed by King Ludwig II but also one of the most architecturally and stylistically refined buildings of the 19th century. It has been designed after 18th-century French palaces with Baroque and Rococo sculptural elements and influences from Louis XV of France. Magnificent gardens and parks surround it.
