Hikes in Langenbach

Very beautiful and scenic, small circular hike through the nature reserve "Isarauen" as well as through the natural forest area "Auwälder an der mittleren Isar".

The nature reserve "Isarauen" between Niederhummel and Moosburg is the focus of the varied, scenically attractive circular hiking route.

Original round hike along the water following the Amperschleifen, the Amper canal, and the Haager pond between Inkofen and Haag.

Hike around the Fuchsberg via the village of Kleinviecht with its pretty branch church and through forest area with unique views into the Amper valley and the surrounding area.

Scenic circular hiking route to the Langenbach churches and chapels, inviting you to pause and offering beautiful views of up to 13 church towers in the surrounding area.

The Isar paths between Marzling and Oberhummel On this tour, we technically cross a flowing body of water nine times: twice the Isar, four times the Moosach, plus the Schleifermoosach, the Angerbach, and the Goldach; and for a full ten kilometers we hike along the bank of the Isar. It's no wonder that under these conditions there are plenty of opportunities to listen to the rushing and splashing of the water, observe birds, and enjoy the beauty of the floodplain forests. The heart of this hike is the perfect, kilometer-long riverside path, which leads on the south side of the Isar into the lonely Hummler Au and thus into the protected Isarauen nature reserve between Hangenham and Moosburg. Only the drone of planes taking off from the nearby airport occasionally reminds us of the existence of the metropolis Munich. Finally, we climb the surprisingly steep hillside edge up to Hangenham and enjoy the panoramic view at the Naturfreundehaus.

​The hike takes us from the Moosburg sports complex—including the outdoor pool—through the woods and fields to Niederhummel. Along the way, we pass by the Saaten-Union-GmbH research facility. After taking a moment to admire St. Andreas Church—the village church dating back to the 14th century—we leave Niederhummel and head directly toward the Isar. We hike along a wide gravel path through the Isar floodplains between Hangenham and Moosburg. Near the nature reserve, the Moosach River flows into the Isar at Oberhummel. Partly along the Isar’s steep banks, the floodplain landscape is crisscrossed by numerous streams. After a final stretch of the trail running directly along the Isar, we leave the mighty river and return to the starting point via the transfer canal. > We begin our loop hike at Sportpark Moosburg 01. From the large parking lot, we first head west to Wasserwerkstraße and follow it past the soccer fields and the municipal water treatment plant to the forest. At the edge of the forest, we head straight down a beautiful gravel path into the cool, shady woods. We hike through the forest for a good quarter of an hour, then the route takes us past a few fields to a secluded little cottage. Shortly afterward, the path joins a small road, which we follow straight through Grünseiboldsdorf. At the last houses, we keep to the right and shortly thereafter pass the Seed Testing Station02 of Saaten-Union-GmbH. First along the test fields, then along ordinary grain fields, we walk on the dirt road directly to Niederhummel 03. At St. Andreas Church, we turn left; at the bus stop, we turn right onto the village road. Just one hundred meters later, shortly before the end of the village, we follow Waldstraße to the left. The road soon takes a left turn. Here, we continue straight ahead on a gravel path into the forest. We cross the Mühlbach stream 04 and turn left at the next intersection. A wide gravel path now leads us steadily eastward. A quarter of an hour later, we cross an intersection straight ahead 05, then continue through the riparian forest. Another quarter of an hour later, we reach another intersection: Here we turn right, heading straight for the banks of the Isar 06. We now follow the beautiful path right along the riverbank. There are plenty of opportunities to dip our feet into the Isar. If the water level is low, a quick dip in the river can also be quite refreshing. After twenty minutes, a wide gravel path joins our route from the left. We follow it through the forest to a large intersection where several paths meet. Here we turn right onto the two parallel paths. At the end of these paths, we come to a meadow and a sign reading “Flugplatz.” So our only option is the path to the left, which takes us to the Isar-Amper Transfer Canal 07 in just a few minutes. We follow it for a short distance, passing the point where the Mühlbach stream crosses the canal. Here, the Mühlbach—which seemed unremarkable at the start—has now blossomed into a small stream. For the last few meters, we walk past the outdoor pool back to the parking lot at Sportpark Moosburg 01.

​The Amper Valley around Zolling offers a variety of trails and fascinating glimpses into nature. After exploring the bodies of water near Zolling—such as Angelberger Lake and a few old channels of the Amper—we’ll hike steadily westward through a beautiful forest to enjoy a stunning view of the Amper Valley near Itzling. On the way back, we’ll stop by the confluence of the Amper and the Werkkanal before heading back to Zolling along the Amper. > Starting at Zolling Town Hall 01, we’ll first take the sidewalk past the town hall to Roiderstraße. We follow it to the left and, a short while later, turn right onto Rotnpeckstraße. It leads us through the residential area to the street “Am Amperkanal.” Turning left, we cross the Amper Werkkanal and then immediately turn left onto the narrow strip of meadow running directly along the canal. After a quarter of an hour, we turn right onto a dirt path. It takes us around a left-hand curve to Angelberger See 02. In the summer, the lake is a popular destination for swimming. At the crossroads behind the lake, we turn right and stroll past meadows and fields. The trail ends just before the Amper River. We turn left and follow a path briefly through the meadow, then through a small wooded area. The route takes us parallel to the Amper for a good five minutes. Finally, the woods thin out and we spot a footbridge 03, which we use to cross the Amper. Immediately afterward, we turn right onto a path along the Amper. We reach a road, follow it briefly to the right, and then continue straight ahead at the fork toward Zolling. The little road leads us down to a beautiful spot where the Amper River reveals its wild side with a few rapids. 150 meters later, a forest trail branches off to the left. It leads us along an old arm of the Amper 04 into the forest. We walk steadily straight ahead, close to the edge of the forest but already within it. After ten minutes, we emerge from the forest: Here, the trail curves slightly to the right and then continues along the forest edge, this time outside the forest. At a fork, we leave the wooded area and continue straight ahead, walking a short distance along fields until we reach the next forest. Following its edge, we finally reach the B301 near Erlau 05. We cross the street and walk along the sidewalk to the left. At the last houses, we turn left and follow a quiet little road. We walk across the meadow next to the road, alongside a beautiful forest. After one and a half kilometers, a small paved road branches off to the left. We follow it uphill to Itzling. Just before reaching the village, a magnificent view of the Amper Valley opens up before us 06. Roughly in the middle of the village, across from a large white house, we take a sharp right onto a narrow, gravel path. It’s open to farm traffic and leads us down to a three-way intersection with a scenic bench. We follow our familiar little road briefly to the left again, then turn right at the sawed-off tree onto a dirt path leading downhill. The path takes us beautifully along reed-lined floodplain meadows, then past a pond to Moos 07. Here, a narrow road leads us to the right, along the lush green floodplain meadows. After ten minutes, we see a forest path branching off to our left. This side path allows us to make a short detour to the Amper River and the confluence of the Amper and the Werkkanal 08. We continue hiking along the narrow road. After a few minutes, it curves to the right. Here, we keep going straight onto a farm road. It continues parallel to the Amper River, running alongside a small grove, and ends back at the road after a right-hand curve. This road then takes us the last few meters to the B301 and the Amper Bridge 09. We first cross the federal highway, then the bridge. Immediately afterward, we turn right and head down to the Amper Industrial Canal. We follow its bank for a few meters, then cross a small steel bridge. At the senior center, we turn right onto the Pfarranger, walk toward the church, and go around it to the left, back to Zolling Town Hall 01.

Hiking in the footsteps of the last ice ages between the Isar valley and the Amper valley.
