The Lochbach stream flows very closely parallel to the Lech River through the floodplain forest. A 2.5 km nature trail has been created here, perfect for hiking or cycling.

July 17, 2025, View of the Lech

The Lech is one of the last wild rivers in the Alps. It is known for its clear, turquoise water, created by minerals and low water temperatures. The river once played an important role as a transport route. Today, it is used to generate electricity.
