The new cycle bridge over the Isar River near Garching has connected the research campus with Fischerhäuser in Ismaning since July 2024. It creates a safe, direct connection for cyclists and pedestrians, facilitates access to the Isar meadows, and shortens routes between the campus and the city. A modern highlight for local mobility and experiencing nature.
