Olching
Olching (German pronunciation: [ˈɔlçɪŋ] ⓘ; Central Bavarian: Oiching) is a town in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck, and suburb to Munich in Bavaria, Germany. It is situated approximately 20 km (12 mi) northwest of Munich.
Olching lies approximately halfway between Dachau and Fürstenfeldbruck, and stretches along both sides of the River Amper. There are two picturesque man-made lakes to the east of Olching, namely the Olchinger See (Lake Olching) and the eponymous Kleiner See (Small Lake), both of which border on the neighbouring municipality of Gröbenzell.
In recent years, Olching has expanded considerably through new building work to meet the demand for housing outside Munich while taking advantage of its good communications, which allow a reasonable commute for those still working in the city and its outskirts. These new developments, especially Schwaigfeld, located north-east of the town centre — close to Olching's motorway exit — have attracted controversy amongst some locals for their apparently inconsistent planning and sometimes eclectic architecture.
The ongoing influx of younger families into these new developments would appear to show that they have become a significant part of the modern Olching community, and the developments continue to grow and generate their own infrastructure improvements. A small shopping centre was opened in Schwaigfeld in January 2008.
Olching is bordered to the west by Maisach, in the north by Bergkirchen, in the East by Gröbenzell and the outskirts of metropolitan Munich, to the south by Puchheim, Eichenau and in the south-west by Emmering and Fürstenfeldbruck. The municipality of Olching is now (since 1978) made up of four main municipalities, namely Olching, Esting (including Neu-Esting), Geiselbullach and Graßlfing.
Olching is located near the Autobahn A8 exits Dachau/Fürstenfeldbruck and Lochhausen/Langwied, as well as the Autobahn A99. The Munich trunk ring road B471 also has 2 exits for Olching.
The River Amper is neither navigable to leisure craft nor to goods traffic. Smaller watercraft such as dinghies and kayaks are however frequently underway in the summer months.
Olching is connected to the Munich S-Bahn network on the 
line. It takes about 20 minutes to München Hauptbahnhof (Munich Central Station). The line is part of the MVV, or Münchener Verkehrsverbund, which is a unified tariff zone that includes local buses, trams, and underground trains (U-Bahnen) in the Munich area.
