Highlight • River

The Lech is a right tributary of the Danube. The 256 km long river has its source in Vorarlberg and flows through Tyrol and southern Bavaria, where it flows into the Danube. Shortly before the Austrian-German border, it takes up the Vils, forms the artificial Lechfall before Füssen and crosses Swabia and Upper Bavaria on its way. The largest cities on the Lech are Landsberg and Augsburg, where it receives its largest tributary, the Wertach. The river flows into the Danube at Marxheim.

Kuhsee (Cow Lake)

Highlight • Lake

If you don't come to the seaside during your vacation, you will find the perfect replacement in the city: at the Kuhsee. In the Kuhsee recreation area in Hochzoll, it is easy to spend a day's vacation. Because the lake offers pretty much everything that holiday parks and hotel complexes advertise. The lake, which was artificially created in 1970, was once only an oxbow lake where cows were led to water. Today it is one of the most popular excursion destinations in Augsburg.

Kuhsee

Highlight • Lake

Particularly beautiful early in the morning when everything is still quiet. A very popular excursion destination on nice days, which then becomes correspondingly lively.
