The park described an irregular shape, beginning at Nymphenburg Palace to the west to Allach , south along the Würm to Stockdorf , to the east to the border of the Forstenrieder Park . The total circumference was about 50 km.

Krailling , Planegg , Steinkirchen , Graefelfing , Lochham , Blutenburg , Menzing , Laim , Klein- and Großhadern , Neuried , Martinsried , Forstenried , Warnberg and the western part of Solln were included in the park . The villages in the park were completely part of the large baroque complex, which can be seen as an overall architectural design.

The hunts held in the park showed no consideration for the inhabitants and were a great economic burden, especially for the farmers. The landscaping work was mainly carried out by Turkish prisoners of war.

The park was completely fenced in. The fencing served mainly to demonstrate the artificiality of the design, not so much to keep the game inside.

The heavy hunt at the Red House by Peter Jakob Horemans

As early as 1715, the construction contract for the Fürstenried hunting lodge was given to Joseph Effner .

Shortly after 1730 several electoral hunting lodges were built. These were named after their paintwork and were made of wood, but they were more than just simple hunting lodges . They were set up to accommodate a smaller hunting party and were used for food and, probably, also for overnight stays. The yellow house stood in the middle of Forstenrieder Park , the green house near Allach . The Red House was between Lochham and Pasing , and the Blue House was north of the Forst Kasten near Krailling . After the deer hunting park was closed, these houses were demolished again in 1746. Views of it still exist in paintings by Peter Jakob Horemans , which can be seen in the hunting room of the Amalienburg in the Nymphenburg Palace Park.
