Beautiful path directly along the Isar

Scenically simply enchanting. Always try to make a detour to the Würm when heading towards Pasing.

It forms the western end of the central Schloss Canal and was designed in the early 18th century according to plans by the French garden artist Dominique Girard, a student of André Le Nôtre, the famous creator of the Gardens of Versailles. The water flows down in stages over several terraces, creating an impressive baroque water feature.

The Amalienburg is one of the most important Rococo buildings in Europe and is considered an architectural jewel in the Nymphenburg Palace Park. The elegant pleasure and hunting lodge was built between 1734 and 1739 for Electress Amalie, the wife of Karl Albrecht, who later became Emperor Karl VII.

As is the case almost everywhere along the Würm, it is very beautiful here too.

Joseph Effner planned the Great Cascade, which was built in 1717. The water falls from a two-part water staircase, the first step of which is semicircular towards the west, and the second, lower step is shaped towards the east. The cascade continues the symmetry through the central channel. Originally, flanking architecture was planned, but it was never executed. Instead, four sculptures of Greek gods were relocated here from the Großer Parterre at the end of the 18th century.

Elector Karl Albrecht gifted his wife Amalie this Rococo building named after her, erected according to the plans of François Cuvilliés from 1734 to 1739 as a small hunting lodge for pheasant hunting. The Amalienburg is a typical late Baroque pleasure palace.

The birth of the Bavarian Prince-Elector Max Emanuel from the House of Wittelsbach in 1662 was the occasion for the construction of a palace with a garden in the area between the villages of Neuhausen and Obermenzing as a gift for the young mother, Electorress Henriette Adelaide of Savoy. The foundation stone for the "Schwaigbau zu Nymphenburg" was laid in 1664. The complex was designed as a pleasure palace in the style of Italian country villas; it only became a Baroque palace complex, which could serve as a summer residence and an alternative to the seat of government, the Munich Residenz, a generation later under Max Emanuel. The model for Nymphenburg was the Piedmontese hunting lodge La Venaria, whose architect Amedeo Castellamonte (1613 to 1683) also provided the initial designs for Nymphenburg.
