Jogging in Munich

Distance: 6.00 km

After a leisurely stroll from the Platzl Hotel to the Isartor, your urban discovery tour begins along the Isar River. Cross the Museumsinsel and head downstream toward the scenic Praterinsel. Once back on the mainland, be inspired by the striking Maximilianeum and the majestic Angel of Peace monument. Back on the Platzl side of the river, the English Garden invites you to take a relaxing walk. After admiring the Monopteros Temple, continue on to the iconic Haus der Kunst. A final highlight awaits with the impressive Bavarian State Chancellery – and just like that, you’re back at the starting point of your city route!

Distance: 21.00 km

This 21-kilometre running route begins at the Gasteig – Munich’s major hub for culture and education. From there, you follow the Isar River downstream, passing iconic landmarks such as the Maximilianeum and the Angel of Peace. One of the highlights along the way is crossing the Isar weir at Oberföhring, which leads you straight into the English Garden. As a grand finale, you’ll catch sight of the impressive Allianz Arena – perhaps already glowing in the evening light, lit up in the colors of FC Bayern. From there, simply hop on the subway for a comfortable ride back to the city center.

Distance: 8.40 km

After a short run through Munich’s vibrant Glockenbach district, you’ll soon reach the lush Flaucher area while heading upstream along the Isar. In summer, this riverside haven comes alive with locals swimming, relaxing, and barbecuing in a laid-back atmosphere. Just beyond, you’ll discover Isarwerk 2 – a hydroelectric plant that uses the river’s current to generate around 15 million kilowatt-hours of electricity for the city each year. Crossing charming wooden bridges, you’ll explore the Flaucher Islands from above before making your way back downstream on the opposite bank – a perfect loop to round off your route.
