Adventure Parc Snowdonia

Where: Conwy Valley, Wales, UK

In 2005, two surfing enthusiasts, Spanish engineer Josema Odriosola and German sports economist Karin Fritz, decided to create an artificial wave suitable for surfing. Together they founded Wavegarden and ten years later opened the first surf park in the UK – Snowdonia.

This place is perfect for lovers of extreme sports. Safe waves, a climbing wall, ziplining beautiful North Wales mountain scenery, professional instructors and local cuisine are all within the park.

Eisbach Wave

Where: Munich, Germany

It would seem that surfing and Germany are completely incompatible. But they are not. Almost in the very center of Munich, in a park with a small river Eisbach, tourists and locals have the opportunity to stand on a board. The so-called river wave was created by Rainer Klimaszewski 40 years ago.

It is worth noting that the Eisbach Wave Park is the only surfing spot in the world that is located in the heart of the city and blends so seamlessly into the landscape. You can surf there all year round, except in winter don’t forget to bring a wetsuit.

Wavegarden Cove

Where: Montgat, Spain

Wavegarden Cove park was opened near Barcelona in 2018. The surfing pool is built in the shape of a sail and reproduces 1,000 perfect waves every hour.

Engineers used the latest technology to allow athletes to catch as many waves as possible in one run. Their size and frequency can be adjusted depending on the level of riding.
