Pliening - Rest...

Our bikes on the dam between the Ismaninger Speichersee, east basin (on the right), and the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal, after an about 20 km ride.

 

The Mittlere-Isar-Kanal was built in the 1920s to supply water to seven hydroelectric power plants along its way.

 

The Ismaninger Speichersee is a reservoir Munich, built in 1929 to regulate the water flow for the run-of-the-river power plants along the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal.

 

The reservoir and the adjacent fish ponds are a nature reserve (Europareservat) and an Important Bird Area (IBA).
