At the Ickinger weir, the Mühltalkanal branches off from the Isar, supplying the Mühltal run-of-river power plant with water. The weir structure dates back to the 1920s and now fits relatively harmoniously into the landscape around the Isar.

June 8, 2023,An der schönen Isar – Ickinger Wehr Runde von Schäftlarn

DANGER! A stream (approx. 2.5 -3 m wide and approx. 30 cm deep, no footbridge) has to be crossed, there are also many mosquitoes.

March 27, 2024,An der schönen Isar – Ickinger Wehr Runde von Schäftlarn

Unfortunately, a lot of the path directly on the Isar was devastated by the storms, so it was very adventurous going under and over trees and through bushes and the bridges over the Auenbach no longer exist. This meant we had to go back again, with a detour of 1-2km.
Otherwise a wonderful path.

September 16, 2023,Durch den Isar-Dschungel 🌲

After we found ourselves in the state capital at very short notice and unexpectedly, we had to find a spontaneous way to pass the time. The Isar with its picturesque course and inviting swimming area should be just right for this! After five minutes of Komoot planning, the promising little hike was in place, which later turned out to be …

October 7, 2022,Ickinger Wehr – Holzbrücke über den Isarkanal Runde von Schäftlarn

There is a stop for bus line 904 at the Schäftlarn monastery!
We parked a little further, opposite the Brückenwirt, in a small hiking car park.

At the beginning it went for quite a while next to the Isar canal. When it gradually got boring, we made a detour to a large gravel bank on the Isar.

Also good to walk at 30 - 32 degrees, as there are always shades. In addition, the Isar offers a wonderful cooling 😁

May 6, 2023,Durchs Isartal rund ums Kloster Schäftlarn – wandern am Wasser rund um München

Great hike just outside Munich. A steep descent at the beginning and then a steep climb at the end. On the way there you hike for a long time through a forest directly on the Isar. This requires sure-footedness and concentration on the right path. Especially if a flood has previously changed the bank. Depending on the water level, you …
