District of Dachau

In Dachauer Land there is a town with 8,000 inhabitants and two breweries. A market with the only museum of its kind in the whole of Germany. A church in which the high Middle Ages seem close enough to touch. And all around, the landscape, characterized by flat moss or gentle hills in the foreground and the entire Alpine chain behind it.
