Glide from the LMU fountain into one of the world’s largest urban parks on a private rickshaw ride. This two-hour circuit takes you from the Chinese Tower to the quieter northern meadows, with stops at the Eisbach wave, Kleinhesseloher See, and (if you’re lucky) a flock of grazing sheep.

You push away from the fountain at Geschwister-Scholl-Platz and the rickshaw hums forward, wheels whispering along Ludwigstraße before opening onto a wide, green river of lawn. The city falls away and the English Garden stretches north—open meadows, stately chestnuts, and the sudden, electric shout of the Eisbach wave where surfers ride a constant, urban breaker.
