This compact loop starts in Oberföhring on the eastern bank of the Isar. The route follows natural paths directly along the water and offers a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. The first change of bank is over the St. Emmeram Bridge, an attractive wooden structure. On the west side of the Isar, you now head downstream through the green Isar meadows, which are already part of the northern section of the English Garden.
The way back to the east bank leads over the impressive Oberföhring weir, which dams up the Isar by around six meters.
The route is flat, fast and offers plenty of variety over a short distance - with fewer people than on the Isar in the middle of the city.
Author’s recommendation
The route can easily be extended into the English Garden and turned into an extended tour.
