Obere Isarau, Green space in Freimann, Munich, Germany
Obere Isarau is a green space between Freisinger Landstrasse and the Isar River, extending northward from the English Garden's Hirschau section. The area is defined by light woodland and multiple streams that run parallel to the main river.
The Garchinger Mühlbach and Schwabinger Altbach are two streams that have historically flowed through this area, shaping the landscape over time. These waterways continue downstream to the Middle Isarau at the city's edge.
The area serves as a habitat for rare plant species and various reptiles that thrive in this riverside setting. This ecological wealth makes the location an important natural refuge within the city.
The location offers multiple paths for cycling and walking, with the Isarsteg bridge at Unterföhring providing the only crossing to the opposite river bank. The terrain is generally flat and accessible, making it suitable for various outdoor activities throughout the year.
Unlike the English Garden with its open meadows, this area is marked by light woodland typical of riverside forests. This forest structure creates a different environment than the expansive clearings found further south.
