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.

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.
Laid out in the late 18th century and expanded through the 19th, the English Garden was born from Enlightenment-era landscaping and Munich’s growing taste for public green space. Geologically the park follows a flat floodplain carved by the Isar’s tributaries; you’ll notice fine silty soils, broad lawns, and intentional water channels that give the park its mix of wetland pockets and dry grazing fields.
On a two-hour private rickshaw you’ll pass the Chinese Tower, Kleinhesseloher See, Maximiliansanlagen, and quieter northern stretches like Hirschau and Aumeister. Guides point out the amphitheater and, if timing’s right, the small flock of sheep that graze the meadows—an old pastoral practice kept for habitat management and visitor delight.
Practical edge: this route is flat and accessible but we recommend arriving with a light layer, sensible shoes, and a water bottle. Mornings and late afternoons offer softer light and fewer crowds; bring a camera and a tolerant phone because the surfer wave and beer gardens draw attention. Respect fenced grazing areas, follow your guide’s route across pathways, and be prepared to pause for foot traffic, bikes, and local wildlife encounters.

The English Garden was created in 1789 and expanded through the 19th century as Munich’s public green space, combining English landscape ideas with Bavarian recreational culture.
The park balances heavy public use with habitat management—stay on trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and respect fenced grazing areas to protect grassland ecology.
