Along the Isar 3: Munich - Schaftlarn

Along the Isar from Munich to Schaftlarn, the trail leads through a lively river landscape that is deeply rooted in Bavarian history. On mostly flat, well-maintained paths, you walk through the Isar floodplains, past willow and alder forests. With a bit of luck, beavers or gray herons can be observed in the quiet side arms, while in spring the rare lady's slipper blooms in the shady forests. Reviews emphasize the relaxed atmosphere by the water, but point out that insect repellent can be helpful on warm days. A cultural highlight is the Schäftlarn monastery with its inviting beer garden. It is a place where the power of the Alpine river and the Bavarian Gemütlichkeit can be felt in equal measure.
