Freising District

High-tech and “hop picking,” trends and traditions! The Freising district—ideally situated between the metropolis of Munich and the world’s largest hop-growing region—is one of the most forward-looking regions in Germany, as
well as one of the most sought-after and fastest-growing economic and residential areas.
