FAQ

1) How can I find the venue?

The venue can be easily found by putting “Muglwave” into Google Maps. Enter the parking lot by taking a right turn on the main road through the rocks.

The feature runs 24/7, almost 365 days a year.
Water levels are constant and it is never too high or too low to paddle.
Due to streetlights next to the feature, it can also be paddled during night-time. The feature is deep and carbon friendly.

Maintenance: The channel is turned off by the city twice a year (March 5th – 9th/October) for a few days for maintenance. The channel may also be turned off due to heavy rainfall and floods of the main river.

The channel itself can be accessed through a boat ramp and exited from an eddy 5m downstream of the feature on river left, as well as from two emergency eddies on river right after the bridge.

Trams: You can buy your ticket at the ticket machine in the tram
