Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm County

Welcome to Pfaffenhofen on the river Ilm County

The county covers an area of about 760 sq.km. in Upper Bavaria’s North, between the urban centers of Munich and Ingolstadt.

It is an elongated county – the distance between the North and the South border measures 45 km, the East-West one 27 – that consist of 19 towns and municipalities. Its landscape is in the South dominated by the smooth tertiary downs, and in the North by the vast plains of the Danube Valley.
Three rivers cross the country: Ilm and Paar from South to North, and the Danube from West to East.

The recondite, futile loessic soil of the tertiary downs between Ilm and Paar rivers provides perfect conditions for the growing of hops – the county’s most prominent plant. This “Green Field” is what gives the Hallertau - the landscape right and left to the Ilm River – its characteristic shape.
