Bench in a very beautiful spot. On one side the Schwaig-Isar. On the other, wide meadow landscape.

View of the Old River Arm

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is where the dynamics of the river landscape become apparent: where the Isar once flowed wildly, a quiet oxbow lake remains today – a habitat for dragonflies, frogs and water birds.

3.73 km

In the midst of the tranquil floodplain landscape of the Isar estuary lies a ford in the oxbow lake – a shallow spot where you can cross the water on foot. Surrounded by reeds, old tree trunks, and shimmering water, it offers a unique natural experience.

Kiesweiher Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

The gravel ponds were originally created by gravel mining but have developed into ecologically valuable wetlands.

Today, they provide habitat for numerous endangered species – including waterfowl, amphibians, dragonflies, and rare plants. The ponds are nestled in a diverse landscape of alluvial forests, oxbow lakes, reed beds, and flower-rich meadows. Their biodiversity is particularly impressive: over 100 breeding bird species and many migratory birds use the area as a refuge.

Isarmündung Nature Reserve (Wetlands)

Highlight • Natural

The Isar Estuary Nature Reserve is one of Bavaria's last large, near-natural floodplain landscapes. In the extensive wetlands, oxbow lakes, ponds, riparian forests, and meadows converge to form a unique habitat for rare animals such as beavers, kingfishers, and yellow-bellied toads. The landscape is characterized by water, reeds, and primeval vegetation—a paradise for nature lovers, ideal for exploring along well-maintained trails.
