Münchner Südring
Munich South Ring (german: Münchner Südring) is the common name for a railway line running near the centre and through the southern districts of the Bavarian state capital of Munich. It connects Munich East station to the Munich Central Station (''Hauptbahnhof'') and Laim marshalling yard. Operationally it is mostly included in the Munich–Rosenheim railway (line 5510). The South Ring is used by freight traffic as a direct connection between Laim and Munich East, bypassing the Hauptbahnhof. It is used by virtually all passenger trains between the central station and Rosenheim or Mühldorf. Only the Munich S-Bahn services run between the central station and Munich East on a separate line, the S-Bahn trunk line, cutting through the city centre in a tunnel. Since the S-Bahn line is congested, it has long been debated whether to build another central tunnel as a second trunk line or to upgrade the South Ring for S-Bahn operations. Recently it has been decided to proceed with a sec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Isar
The Isar is a river in Tyrol, Austria, and Bavaria, Germany, which is not navigable for watercraft above raft size. Its source is in the Karwendel range of the Alps in Tyrol; it enters Germany near Mittenwald and flows through Bad Tölz, Munich, and Landshut before reaching the Danube near Deggendorf. At in length, it is the fourth largest river in Bavaria, after the Danube, Inn, and Main. It is Germany's second most important tributary of the Danube after the Inn. Etymology One theory is that the name ''Isar'' comes from the hypothetical Indo-European root ''*es'' or ''*is'', which generally meant "flowing water" and later turned into a word with a meaning narrowed to frozen water (hence English ''ice'', german: Eis) in Proto-Germanic; the name itself is mentioned for the first time in 763 as ''Isura''. An older theory is that it comes from Celtic words and the name ''Isar'' is a construction of the Celtic stems ''ys'' "fast, torrential" and ''ura'' "water, river". Accordin ...
