Isarstauseen Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The observation deck is ideal for observing life in the reservoir. With a bit of luck you serve beavers. A flamingo is also on the way. Definitely take binoculars with you.

August 22, 2025,Eching (Landshut) 🅿️ Rund um den Echinger Stausee (Vogelfreistätte Isarstauseen) 🦆🦢

We chose Landshut for the weekend. The first 10km tour today took us around the Eching Reservoir, an absolute bird paradise! We've never seen so many swans in one place before; there must have been several hundred or even thousands! This area is part of the "Middle Isar Reservoirs Bird Sanctuary" nature reserve and is reserved exclusively for the animals. …

July 17, 2021,Schöner Isarblick bei Hofham – Aussichtspunkt Runde von Viecht

Didn't know that there are so many swans romping about in the middle of the lake :-)
The route is recommended when the sky is overcast! In the sunshine, unfortunately, no shade anywhere ... unless you walk the first half on the Isar, in the shade of the trees!
