Oberstjägermeisterbach, Brook in Englischer Garten, Munich, Germany.
The Oberstjägermeisterbach is a brook that flows through several artificial ponds within Englischer Garten, including Schwammerlweiher, Entenfallweiher, and Libellenteich. The water is directed through channels that connect different sections of the park's landscape.
The brook originates as a branch of the Eisbach near Oettingenstraße and was developed as part of Munich's historical water management system. It was created alongside the development of Englischer Garten to supply water to the park and shape its landscape.
The brook circles a bird sanctuary island in the northern section of Englischer Garten where waterfowl and wading birds gather. Visitors often spot ducks, herons, and other water birds that rely on this waterway for feeding and nesting.
Visitors can observe the brook's course from multiple footpaths and bridges that cross the park, starting from the area near the Chinese Tower. The pathways follow the water's route and provide access to the different ponds and rest areas throughout the park.
The brook splits into several channels, with one branch supplying water to Kleinhesseloher See before rejoining the main stream. This division allows the water to serve different sections of the park and creates multiple routes for visitors to explore.
