In Bavaria, surfing has always existed as a kind of contradiction — a deeply committed surf culture thriving hundreds of miles from the ocean. O₂ SURFTOWN MUC turns that contradiction into a destination. What was once unused semi-industrial space in Hallbergmoos is now a 20,000-square-meter surf complex capable of hosting up to 4,000 visitors at a time. The facility runs largely on solar-generated energy and employs roughly 120 staff during peak summer season.
