The Isarring is a four-lane section of the Mittlerer Ring, the Bundesstraße 2 R (federal highway), in Munich. It is used by 110,000 cars every day{{cite web | url=http://m-einenglischergarten.de/das-projekt | title=Das Projekt | author= | date= | website= | publisher=M-ein englischer Garten | language=German | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161228042150/http://m-einenglischergarten.de/das-projekt | archive-date=28 December 2016 | accessdate=27 November 2018}} and was constructed in 1966.

The Isarring joins at the Ungererstraße exit onto Schenkendorfstraße. From this intersection-free junction, the Ungererstraße turns into the Bundesstraße 11 as it leaves the city. On the side leaving the city is now, the Nordfriedhof; the ring is lowered at this point. After a right turn, the road leads into the Biederstein Tunnel,{{cite web | url=http://www.unser-bogenhausen.de/2017/05/isarring-tunnel-fruehestens-2028-fertig/ | title=Isarring: Tunnel frühestens 2028 fertig | author= | date=5 May 2017 | website= | publisher=Unser Bogenhausen | language=German | accessdate=27 November 2018}} whose name derives from the Schlösschen Biederstein (Castle Biederstein), but which was demolished decades ago. In its place are a dormitory and a retirement home.
After the tunnel and a left turn, the ring leads through the Englischer Garten (English Garden). On the right is the Kleinhesseloher See (lake){{cite web | url=https://www.muenchen.de/freizeit/orte/1222210.html | title=Kleinhesseloher See im Englischen Garten | author= | date= | website=münchen.de | publisher= | language=German | accessdate=27 November 2018}} with the restaurant Seehaus. It then follows the Tucherpark exit, where the road crosses the Isar on the John F. Kennedy bridge - hence the name Isarring - and runs to the Effnerplatz.
Public transport
Immediately at the junction Ungererstraße is the U6 subway line station Nordfriedhof. Since the Schenkendorfstraße ends there, the station was originally supposed to been called Schenkendorfstraße. At the Nordfriedhof, there is a direct connection to the Munich Airport, with the airport bus.
Initiative M-ein Englischer Garten
The Isarring cuts the Englischer Garten into a southern and a northern part. The Initiative M-ein Englischer Garten, would like to lay the Isarring, at 380 meters, into a tunnel in order to reunite the northern and southern portions of the Englischer Garten. This is to restore the historical shape of the Englischer Garten, as it was before the construction of the Isarings. The Englischer Garten would then again be a continuous city park with north–south extension of 5 km length. On 28 June 2017, the Munich City Council unanimously approved the project.{{cite web | url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/stadtratsbeschluss-der-tunnel-durch-den-englischen-garten-kommt-1.3564127 | title=Der Tunnel durch den Englischen Garten kommt | author= | date=28 June 2017 | website= | publisher=Süddeutsche Zeitung | language=German | accessdate=27 November 2018}}
