Property Swap Enables Legal Surfing at Munich’s Second Eisbach Wave

The swap transfers ownership of the Dianabadschwelle to the city, clearing the way for fence removal followed by new regulations under the Eisbachwelle safety framework.

Overview

  • Munich and Bavaria have agreed to exchange roughly 1,300 m² of land at the Dianabadschwelle, moving the site from the Bavarian Palaces, Gardens and Lakes Administration into municipal control.
  • Once the transfer is finalized, the city will apply the same safety rules as at the Eisbachwelle, permitting surfers to ride the wave at their own risk under existing guidelines.
  • Removing fences erected by state authorities and local residents along both banks of the Dianabadschwelle is a priority to restore straightforward access for users.
  • City officials are completing legal and administrative steps—including finalizing the land swap and drafting an Allgemeinverfügung—to enable official surfing operations as quickly as possible.
  • Authorities aim to open the Dianabadschwelle to the public by next spring, with the possibility of an earlier launch if administrative processes conclude ahead of schedule.
