Dachau Hydroelectric Power Station on the Amper

Highlight • Structure

The small, blue power plant on the Amper in Dachau dates back to the 1950s. In 2018, the dusty turbine technology was renewed for over 2 million euros and now every drop of water is used for energy production. The state-of-the-art interior does not look like a romantic building.

Riverside path on the Amper

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On a beautiful hiking trail, you can comfortably stroll along the banks of the peacefully flowing Amper. Both shores are densely lined with forest and so you can relax here in the nature of Munich's big city bustle.

Walk along the Amper from Günding in the direction of Dachau and up to the castle, highly recommended! The paths on both sides of the Amper with a bike are also great 👍

7. #movementhelps hike / In total it is now 96.85 KM.

March 19, 2023,An die Amper..alte Liebe besuchen 😉 und zum Schlossgarten 🤩

A nice walk along the Amper on Sunday, visiting old love and looking at the Dachau palace garden with the flowers was on the program today.

The weather was ideal for this, sunny and cloudy, not too warm and not too cold, and having a small bite to eat is a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon relaxing from …

June 17, 2022,The fun we have!🙂🐶

If you only go for a walk at home to save fuel/costs, you will of course always meet the same dogs. 🙂 Practicing dog encounters, whether on a leash or not, then has no effect.
So pack a pack of taxa and off to Günding. Lots of dogs, no problems. Brilliant. And our furry friends had fun in the water …

January 14, 2023,An der Amper in Dachau

A classic round on the Amper in Dachau. The Artists' Trail with pretty artists' villas and references to painters and their works emerged more or less incidentally. Around 1900, Dachau was a place of longing for landscape painters. Motifs from back then can be compared in some places with current impressions. If you are interested in the exact course of …
