Speichersee and the Mittlerer Isar Kanal. If you drive a little further along the northern Speichersee road, you might be surprised by the engine noises coming from the BMW test track in Aschheim.

Nice bike ride, we drove downstream on the Isar river on the left side through the English Garden until we reached the Isarsteg Unterföhring. There we crossed the Isar and then turned right about 300 m upstream again, then at the next opportunity turned left up the small mountain and towards the reservoir. So we drove the tour the other way around.
