The Isar - a very special river. The Upper Isar and its floodplains are among the best preserved and therefore most important wild river landscapes in Germany.
The Isar has a total length of around 295 kilometers and has its source in the Karwendel mountains in the Hinterautal (Tyrol). It is the fourth largest river in Bavaria after the Danube, the Inn and the Main. In Moosburg, the Amper flows into the Isar, which then flows into the Danube in Deggendorf.
Like the Loisach, the Isar used to be a trade route and was used by raftsmen to transport goods, people and timber. The starting points for rafting included the towns of Mittenwald, Krün, Lenggries and Tölz. The connection to Munich, Freising and Landshut was considered an important trade route. In the 19th century, around 8,000 rafts landed in Munich every year. Today, the raft trip on the Isar - in addition to numerous rubber dinghy trips - is a popular leisure activity that is not always good for nature.
The sections from the source on the Austrian side to just before Mittenwald and north of Krün to above the Sylvenstein reservoir are particularly natural.
