The best waterfall hikes and walks around Aubinger Lohe

It forms the western end of the central Schloss Canal and was designed in the early 18th century according to plans by the French garden artist Dominique Girard, a student of André Le Nôtre, the famous creator of the Gardens of Versailles. The water flows down in stages over several terraces, creating an impressive baroque water feature.

As part of the park's extensive trail network, it connects the famous park castles and attractions with the quieter areas of the facility.

The small, open round temple was built in the early 19th century on a peninsula on the Badenburger See and is dedicated to the Greek god Apollo, who in mythology stands for light, art, and harmony.

The Hartmannshofer Park north of the Kapuzinerhölzl was once part of a pheasantry. Today, both of these fairly original forest remnants belong to a protected landscape area. The human intervention is clearly visible in the stream that gives this part its name. It springs from the Pagodenburger See. The restaurant "Fasanerie" probably threw in the towel in 2024. Nevertheless, it is still a beautiful destination for walking and enjoying. "The name of the local beer garden Fasanerie and the building, a former forester's lodge, are reminiscent of the pheasant breeding at Oberer Fasangarten, which Elector Max Emanuel had established there in 1717 and which was continued by the Bavarian kings until the First World War. Only in the 1960s did the Free State of Bavaria convert the area into a park." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartmannshofer_Park

If you've always wanted to know what Nymphenburg Palace looks like from behind and from a great distance, this is the right place.

The octagonal floor plan of the Pagodenburg on a small island in the lake named after it was designed by Elector Max Emanuel. Master builder Joseph Effner completed the design and supervised the construction of the pleasure palace from 1716 to 1719. In 1767 it was rebuilt in the Rococo style. The name comes from the decoration of the interiors with Asian motifs. Consequently, the rooms are called "Chinese Salon" or "Chinese Cabinet".

Joseph Effner planned the Great Cascade, which was built in 1717. The water falls from a two-part water staircase, the first step of which is semicircular towards the west, and the second, lower step is shaped towards the east. The cascade continues the symmetry through the central channel. Originally, flanking architecture was planned, but it was never executed. Instead, four sculptures of Greek gods were relocated here from the Großer Parterre at the end of the 18th century.

Until the construction of the stone Temple of Apollo between 1862 and 1865, a round wooden temple stood twice on the headland. The first was erected in 1805 for the Elector Princess's birthday. When it had become dilapidated, a slightly larger replacement structure made of larch wood was built in 1818. The current Temple of Apollo, a monopteros with ten columns in the Corinthian style made of grey-beige sandstone, was designed by Leo von Klenze. Inside, there is a marble stele with a dedication from Ludwig I.
