About this audio guide
This guide to Kleinhesseloher See in Munich's English Garden starts around 1800, with a park warden named Josef Tax, a nobleman's freshly dug pond and a crew of workers with shovels. You'll meet the garden designer Friedrich Ludwig Sckell, who kept enlarging the water, and learn what the three islands and the resident beavers have to do with it. Best heard on the bank, looking across the water.
