(S/E) From the starting point, take the path on the right just before the "Harlachinger Einkehr" restaurant, heading into the shaded park
Stay on this path for just over 2 km. On the right, you’ll first pass above the zoo (Tierpark Hellabrunn), a first stream, the “Harlachinger Quellbach”, which flows into the “Auer Mühlbach”.
(1) Then go round a stadium on the left.
(2) Cross over the ring road and, after the bridge, you’ll find yourself on a path through a park that soon ends at Bergstraße.
(3) Continue along this street to the end, then take a path which you should also follow to the end. Then turn left, then immediately right, to pass under a large junction. The route seems complicated here, but you actually need to wait until you reach the forecourt of the large München Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche church. (There are many churches, but you cannot miss this one due to its size and brick architecture).
(4) Pass the church on the left, then walk alongside a park again. Next, walk alongside a railway line on the right; take the path on the left to cross over the railway line, then turn right (Schmedererweg). The path then crosses over a road.
(5) You will then reach Hochstraße, which you should take to the left. Hochstraße crosses a bridge over Gebsattelstraße.
(6) Take the path on the left, Fischerweg. You will then arrive directly at the banks of the Auer Mühlbach stream; follow it and cross via a bridge
(7) Continue straight on along Riggauerweg to reach the banks of the Isar at the Ludwigsbrücke.
(8) Take the underpass beneath the Ludwigsbrücke bridge (you can see the Deutsches Museum on the other bank of the Isar).
(9) Walk between the Volksbad and the Isar. Continue along the Isar, take the bridge over the Isar on the left, and return by walking between the canal and the Isar. Reach the Deutsches Museum by turning left.
(10) After the museum, cross the Ludwigsbrücke, and you will then find yourself back where you first came across the Isar.
(8) Then follow the Isar upstream along its right bank for several kilometres, passing the various bridges on your right.
(11) Turn right to reach the wooden footbridge, the Flauchersteg.
(12) Cross the Isar, which is very wide at this point, via this bridge, then turn left and follow the Isarkanal upstream.
(13) Turn left onto Schinderbrück and turn left again. Continue southwards.
(14) When you reach the next bridge, the Thalkirchner Brücke, take the left-hand side of the bridge and leave it between the canal and the Isar.
(15) A little further on, you’ll reach another footbridge, the Marienklausensteg; take it on the left and leave it on the right to follow the Isar up the right bank. Continue to the Großhesselohe railway bridge, which is also open to pedestrians. Magnificent view of the Isar.
(16) Go under the bridge and head up to the left. Once at the top, turn left to cross over the railway line. Stay on the path (be careful, there is a cycle path and a footpath; please respect them) to reach Karolingerallee (S/E).
