o2 SURFTOWN MUC – the perfect wave

Successful use of PLANFRED in the major o2 SURFTOWN MUC project

Erfolgreicher Einsatz von PLANFRED beim Großprojekt O₂ Surftown MUC

o2 SURFTOWN MUC is a flagship project for sport, architecture and sustainable leisure activities in Germany. It combines state-of-the-art wave technology, sustainable construction and unique leisure experiences that are unprecedented in this form in Germany.

It is the first professional surfing facility in Germany where waves up to 2.5 m high and up to 18 seconds long roll in the middle of Bavaria - regardless of the weather and season.

SURFTOWN – Rider in action

It is also an ecological showcase project for leisure architecture with a new level of sustainability. It is powered by 100 % green electricity, with up to 90 % generated by photovoltaics. The water cycle consists of rainwater and groundwater with closed filter technology. No fossil fuels are used for operation and heating.
