Idyllic Shore Path

Highlight • Trail

The riverside path on the west side of the Lech is mostly just a beaten path, on which there are a lot of roots of the surrounding trees and therefore you have to be extremely careful when walking.

At the Gasthof zur Brücke in Kaufering there was strawberry cake and shandy. The way back was particularly beautiful from the route. There it goes on forest paths.

On display, however, is a Francis turbine as a demonstration object. On Sundays the Natusfreundehaus Oskar Weinert is occupied by volunteers. On the Lechhöhenweg you can find out something about the prehistory of …

The tour starts at the Zollhaus car park in Scheuring. The fact is that I hadn't already walked around the barrages. But this time it was a little discovery tour. For example, the castle ruins of Halteberg. A little detour away from the Lech and you'll find a gem from the Middle Ages. Today owned by the city of Landsberg. …
