features regular special exhibitions.

A secret tip is the Wittelsbach
summer residence of Dachau
Palace, which is located on a hill
above the historic old town. From
the terrace of the Schlosscafé, there
is a unique view over the state
capital of Munich, partly up to the
Upper Bavarian Alps.

Nature and leisure
In Dachau, an electric scooter can
be borrowed free of charge on a
daily basis. This gives everyone
the opportunity to go on excursions
into the diverse nature of
the Dachau region.
Along the course of Maisach leads
the approximately two-and-a-halfkilometre-long
path, the “Maisach
Lifeline”. Whether with a walking
frame, wheelchair or pushchair –
the path makes the shores of this
natural space between Bergkirchen
and Günding accessible to
everyone for relaxation. The flora
and fauna, eleven information
boards and several adventure
stations provide plenty of variety.
