Bypassing the power plant canal for fish. The Magerbach is used here as a fish ladder to bypass the Jaukerbach (Kleinmünchen power plant). The second part of the fish ladder is at the bridge on the Saporoshjestrasse over the Jaukerbach. It is also a popular place for dogs and people (to cool their feet) to cool off.

The "Weikerlsee Bridge" is a beautiful sight at any time of the day. It is especially worth a visit at sunset. 📸
