Key details for The Georgenstein
Best Time to Visit
Summer
The summer months (June to August) are ideal for both a refreshing boat tour on the Isar and cliff jumping at Georgenstein, when the weather is warm and the river is inviting.
Difficulty
Easy - Medium
The Isar boat tour is generally easy, but you have to be mindful of the signs. At some spots, you have to exit the river and walk before you can continue rafting. There is one spot at the end of the tour which is challenging to raft. It's a slide, and failing it could lead to injuries. Cliff jumping at Georgenstein offers varied heights (3 to 6 meters).
Duration
3-8 hours
This combined activity makes for a perfect half-day to full-day adventure. You don't have to do the full route, as there are multiple S-Bahn stations that you can go out near.
Reachability
Public Transport/Bike
If you're doing the boat tour, it would be best to go with public transport. Otherwise, you can also just go to the Georgenstein either with the S-Bahn and walking for around 20 minutes or with the bike (better option).
Essential tips for your visit to The Georgenstein
- Book your boat in advance, especially during peak season. If you live nearby, it might be worth buying your own boat. Otherwise, you might be able to find boats for rent in local stores or on eBay Kleinanzeigen.
- Always check the water depth before jumping at Georgenstein, especially after heavy rain.
- Be aware of the strong current in the Isar River.
- Wear water shoes as the rocks can be slippery.
- Bring sunscreen, a hat, water, and snacks for a full day of fun.
- Avoid bringing glass bottles. They are not allowed on the boats, and it's for good reasons.
