This scenario has you flying south alongside Englischer Garten over the relatively narrow Isar River that threads through Munich. Slow up the airplane as soon as you unpause.

As you track the river you'll come up on two islands. The first is small and, at least in the simulation, of little interest. But on the second, called Isarinsel (Isar Island) is the giant Deutsches Museum, one of the foremost scientific and technological museums in the world. Make a low pass over it, but don't get below 1900 feet. Then for some real fun, see the next two scenarios.
