Guided Story
Feel the gentle breeze coming off the Isar? Look up, and you'll see the impressive structure of the Oberföhring Weir, standing here since 1924. It's more than just a bridge; it's a testament to Munich's evolving use of water power. Behind you to the southeast, you'll find the tranquil Brunnbach stream winding its way through the landscape. Nearby, a bit further south, is the Peace Column, a symbol of harmony and balance, echoed by what you experience here at the weir. Close your eyes and listen to the steady flow of water setting off on its journey. It’s a perfect blend of engineering and nature, inviting you to pause and appreciate the harmony of these elements.
