The search for the 26-year-old who went missing in Munich's Eisbach will continue on Tuesday. A police spokesperson made this statement in the morning, without providing further details on the extent of the search. The investigation has been taken over by Police Station 14.

Search for missing person unsuccessful - Where is the 26-year-old?

The 26-year-old from the Stuttgart area was out with friends in the English Garden on Saturday afternoon. According to the police, he went into the water at a spot where swimming is forbidden due to danger. The others in the group noticed after some time that the 26-year-old was no longer there. A search was unsuccessful. Even police forces who searched the water on Saturday could not find him.

According to the city's statements, there is a general swimming ban in the Eisbach. Surfing in the Eisbach wave at the Haus der Kunst is the only allowed activity - for experienced surfers only.

The missing 26-year-old was reportedly enjoying his leisure time in Upper Bavaria's Munich, known for its rich outdoor activities. Unfortunately, during his swim in Baden-Württemberg's vicinity, an accident occurred at an unauthorized swimming spot. Despite intense efforts from the Bavarian Police, including Police Station 14, there has been no sign of the missing individual, demanding an ongoing emergency response.
