Floßlände claims the title of the oldest river wave in the world still being surfed, breaking on a side channel of the Isar in Munich since 1972 — decades before its famous neighbor, the Eisbach, ever existed. The spot sits at an old timber-raft landing dating back to 1899, when log rafts hauled goods into the city before rail took over. Compared to the Eisbach's intense, crowded takeoff, Floßlände runs mellower and more welcoming, genuinely good for beginners and intermediates working on their pop-up. It's a seasonal wave from May through September and an easy bus ride (line 135) from central Munich.
