Munich - 4 Days of Winter Fun

Olympia-Schwimmhalle Munich: Jump the 10 m Tower

Munich2.5 hoursEasy-Medium-Hard

Public diving from the 10 m platform is typically open during designated afternoon time slots, so check the daily schedule before arriving. Bring standard swimwear and a towel; lockers require a refundable coin. The water is heated indoors, making this a warm alternative to outdoor cliff jumping. Follow the lifeguards' rotation signals strictly and ensure the splashdown zone is clear before jumping. A guide is not needed.

English Garden

MunichHalf-dayEasy

Stroll the winter paths between the Monopteros and the Chinese Tower during daylight hours (typically daylight runs until 16:20). With typical temperatures hovering around -2°C to 4°C, layer up in a warm insulated coat and sturdy walking boots. Trails can develop icy patches after freezing nights. Entrance to the park grounds is free. A guide is not needed.

E2 Wave Munich (Kleine Eisbachwelle)

Munich2 hoursModerate

A guide is not needed. Weather warning: Near-freezing air and river water pose severe hypothermia risks. Wear a thick 5/4mm+ hooded winter wetsuit with neoprene boots and gloves, and keep sessions short. The E2 wave is smaller and less aggressive than E1, but concrete walls flank both sides; always wear a helmet. Watch local river surfers first to learn the drop-in etiquette and current exit points.
