Guided Story

Imagine you're standing in one of the last remnants of the eastern Dachauer Moos, a place untouched for centuries. Look at the towering moss pines that stand like dark sentinels against the sky. These trees have stories to tell, from a time when the moor was an endless wilderness. Can you hear the birds singing? They are the permanent residents here, adding color and life to the forest. If you glance east, towards the Oberschleißheim regatta course, you can imagine how this nature reserve extends its protective reach all the way there. Let the silence embrace you and feel the connection to nature that this place radiates.
