Key facts of the tour
This hike allows you to make surprising leaps back in time. The artists' trail in Dachau shows the landscape as it was seen by the painters of the artists' colony more than a hundred years ago. The landscape of the past and present stand side by side.

The courtyard garden of the Wittelsbach summer residence delights visitors with its beauty and opens up wide views over the surrounding area of Munich.

The Amper river landscape is home to a number of natural rarities. The local gastronomy offers delicious dishes for an enjoyable end to a hike rich in beauty.
