A stunning landscape with many trails crisscrossing the area. The sparse vegetation with scattered conifers, grass, and bushes has a charm all its own – the Highlight Tower and other city buildings in the background provide a whimsical contrast.

The Oberföhring Dam is a weir on the Isar River in northern Munich and also serves as the inlet structure of the Middle Isar Canal. The weir itself is not a hydroelectric power plant. However, there is a small, largely underground power plant directly below the weir, through which water from the canal is diverted back into the Isar.
