A beautiful hiking trail on both sides of the Wertach.

Depending on the water flow in the Lech, north of the weir in Gersthofen, the "river" is only fed by the water flowing through the fish ladder, with the water being primarily diverted into the Lech canal.😒

Paved path on the former railway line. It climbs for a few kilometers from Augsburg, then descends almost all the way to Horgau. Generally quite straight, but at some intersections there are "chicanes" that deliberately force slow driving.

At the northern end of the Wolfzahnau, the Wertach River flows into the Lech River. The Lech and Wertach rivers converge in the Wolfzahnau – a landscape conservation area within the city of Augsburg, located on the western bank of the Lech River. The Lech carries greenish water, while the Wertach carries brownish water.

The former Weldenbahn railway line has been largely preserved as an asphalted railway path and is now known as the "Landrat-Dr.-Frey-Radweg" (District Administrator Dr. Frey Cycle Path).
