Lech Dam Ellgau

Highlight • Structure

From this weir you have a beautiful view up and down the Lech and it is most impressive when the locks are open and the water thunders into the depths.

Gravel banks along the Lech

Highlight • River

There are many gravel banks along the Lech Cycle Path. Some good, some less accessible from the trail. A nice place to keep your feet in the cool water during the tour.
