Discover Isar Boat Tour from Wolfratshausen & Jumping the Georgenstein
An Isar boat tour from Wolfratshausen down to Munich is one of the best summer days you can have in Bavaria. Float down the turquoise river through the green Isar valley, enjoy the forest and gravel banks from a whole new angle, and stop for a jump at the legendary Georgenstein.
This big rock in the middle of the river, just south of Munich, has jumps from about 3 to 6 meters, so beginners and those chasing a quick thrill both get their fix. Watch out for the signs along the way: at some weirs you have to get out and carry your boat, and the chute near the end needs care.
It's the perfect way to cool off and spend an active day just outside the city. Grab a boat and send it!

Best Time to Visit
Summer
June to August is ideal for both the boat tour and the jumps. In the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, private boating is only allowed in season (from 1 June).
Difficulty
Easy-Medium
The boat tour is mostly easy, but watch the signs: at some weirs you have to get out and carry the boat. Near the end there's a chute that's hard to run, and getting it wrong can cause injuries. The Georgenstein has jumps of 3 to 6 meters.
Duration
3-8 hours
Half a day to a full day. You don't have to paddle the whole route: several S-Bahn stations are close to the river.
Reachability
Bike/Public Transport
For the boat tour, public transport is best. If you only want to jump, reach the Georgenstein by S-Bahn plus a 20-minute walk, or, better, by bike.
Essential tips for your visit to Isar Boat Tour from Wolfratshausen & Jumping the Georgenstein
Book your boat in advance, especially in peak season. If you live nearby, buying your own boat can be worth it; you can also find rentals in local shops or on Kleinanzeigen.
Always check the water depth before jumping at the Georgenstein, especially after heavy rain.
Be aware of the strong current in the Isar.
Wear water shoes, as the rocks can be slippery.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, water and snacks for a full day of fun.
Leave glass bottles at home. They're banned on the boats, and for good reason.
