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 👍

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.
