In the English Garden of Munich you can also enjoy the idyllic nature close to the city as well as the cultural technical sight, the Isarwehr Oberföhring, which is a technical masterpiece of the engineering arts of the early 1920s.

Continuation of the MU Tour #5 Munich Northeast:

After about a five-minute bike ride, we reach the Oberföhring Weir, a weir structure that stretches across the northern Isar River. The weir was built between 1921 and 1924 and connects the northern part of the English Garden with the Oberföhring district, located east of the Isar. Here, the Isar River is dammed by about six meters, and some of its water north of the weir is diverted into the Middle Isar Canal, which flows back into the Isar after about 64 kilometers. Seven run-of-river power plants are fed and driven along this canal. Because the water is divided at the weir, the western riverbed carries less water and is a wonderful recreational area for swimming and barbecues in summer. Pedestrians can cross the Isar River on the north side of the weir via a wide footbridge. Cyclists dismount and push their bikes. Nearby is the "INSEL," an inclusive sports field run by the Munich Pfennigparade.
