“The veneration of Mary in its various forms is part of Catholic piety. It is impossible to imagine the life of the Church without the rosary, without the Marian month of May, without the Marian feasts and without the numerous depictions of Mary.” (Julius Cardinal Döpfner, * 1913 + 1976)

Due to the weir system and the run-of-river power plant, the Isar is dammed up to form a large reservoir. The dyke system offers a wonderful view over the dammed river, which is also a real paradise for birds.
