July 24, 2025, Pond in the Isarauen

In the midst of the expansive floodplain landscape of the Isar estuary lies a small, tranquil pond, nestled between meadows, pastures, and ancient alluvial forests. The water shimmers gently in the light, dragonflies dance across the surface, and the calls of waterfowl echo from the reeds. A tranquil spot that invites you to linger and breathe deeply – far from the hustle and bustle, yet close to nature.

There is always a lot on offer in summer. Entire cities are then built and celebrated. The only disadvantage is that unfortunately the rubbish is often left lying around.😡
