Take a tour of German Town of Landsberg am Lech in Landsberg am Lech, Germany - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Though not one of Germany's most well-known cities, Landsberg am Lech is a very important part of the country's past.

It's a beautiful place, but there's also a history here of which not all visitors are aware.

It was in this city's prison that Adolf Hitler wrote Mein Kampf during his confinement.

Additionally, there was a large concentration camp not far from the town that was liberated during World War Two.

Later this was the site of the trials and executions of many Nazis, as well as a camp for Displaced Persons.

Despite the town's somewhat spotty past, it is now a wonderful and beautiful place to visit.
