Vegetables in the Dachau Moos

Aerial view of a green strip of vegetables on the black soil of the Dachau Moor near Hackermoos, Dachau, Upper Bavaria, taken on March 14, 1999.   

The strip-planted lettuce field, photographed in spring, creates a charming contrast to the black soil of the Dachau Moor when viewed from the air. The Dachau Moor is a fen landscape north of Munich, located in the area around Dachau and Karlsfeld. Until the 19th century, the region was not suitable for agricultural use; it was only through drainage measures that it became accessible for farming.
