Traffic calmed road sections, some dirt roads with paved gravel paths, some nice asphalt. A varied section, nice to cycle.

The Ismaning reservoir is somewhat remote. That is why it is not overcrowded. It is particularly attractive for bird watching and photography enthusiasts.

Hollerner Lake

Highlight • Lake

The former quarry pond has only been open for bathing since June 2020. Everything seems very well maintained and not overcrowded. The water seems to be very clean - a real insider tip (still)! A short hike around the lake is about four kilometers and offers nice views of the turquoise water.

Speichersee and the Mittlerer Isar Kanal. If you drive a little further along the northern Speichersee road, you might be surprised by the engine noises coming from the BMW test track in Aschheim.

Nice bike ride, we drove downstream on the Isar river on the left side through the English Garden until we reached the Isarsteg Unterföhring. There we crossed the Isar and then turned right about 300 m upstream again, then at the next opportunity turned left up the small mountain and towards the reservoir. So we drove the tour the other way around.
