Biodiversity is the foundation of life for all of us. Here, the valuable natural environment of the Amper Valley is brought to life. The Thonstetten meadow bird breeding area is an important element in the Amper Valley's biotope network. With a little luck, nature lovers can observe rare bird species from the observation tower. The information panels about the animal and plant species found here pique interest and sharpen the eye for special features that otherwise often go unnoticed or overlooked.

I've experienced this many times! Some communities and associations are very committed. In others, you can go on your own discovery tour with Google Maps and komoot. Try finding an archaeological site in the undergrowth if there are no signs.

This is an idyllic spot with a view over the hop country! There is seating (Corona Bankerl), a white-blue Bavarian flag and a summit book. The highest elevation of the beautiful Hopfenland at 534 meters can be easily reached on a walk (from Au/Hallertau, Osseltshausen, Rudertshausen, Reith, Egg) or by bike. It is located near Osseltshausen (municipality of Au/Hallertau). In Au in the Hallertau you can still make a detour to the beautiful beer garden of the Schloßbräukeller!
