September 19, 2025, Isar Bridge near Krün

The bridge connects the town of Krün to the eastern cycling and hiking path along the Isar River. Numerous hiking and biking trails open from here. Swimming or entering the Isar's banks is not recommended. These areas are breeding grounds and also home to rare flora.

Bridge over the Isar River on the outskirts of Krün. Currently, some debris is being removed from the Isar in a northerly direction to create more space for the riverbed. Near the bridge is the Gries hiking car park. Numerous hiking and biking trails lead from the bridge.
