One of the most widely known places in Munich is the large and lovely Englischer Garten. Laid out by an English horticulturalist in the natural style as opposed to the formal French style, it is a nice place to wander through on a hot day, and now that fall is in the air, I can confirm that the autumn is fine there as well.

People swim in the water and play volleyball and other sports on the grass.

It has a famous beer garden around the Chinese Pagoda.

And enough room for wild meadows to grow as well.

Without question, the most popular place is where the garden begins and the water rushes in. I’ve already posted about this spot in “Riding the wave” in Munich. But these are new videos, taken from within the garden on the river banks.

Below is a reminder of what the “wave” looks like from the other side.
