Lech River in Gersthofen

Highlight • River

The Lech is a right tributary of the Danube. The 256 km long river originates in Vorarlberg in the Hochtannberg region at the confluence of the Spullerbach and Formarinbach streams in the Tannläger valley. It flows through Tyrol and southern Bavaria, where it empties into the Danube. Shortly before the Austrian-German border, it joins the Vils river, forms the artificial Lechfall near Füssen, and crosses Swabia and Upper Bavaria on its way. The largest cities on the Lech are Landsberg and Augsburg; in this city, it receives its largest tributary, the Wertach. The river empties into the Danube near Marxheim.

Via Claudia Augusta monument near Langweid

Highlight • Monument

The Via Claudia Augusta is the oldest Roman road in the Bavarian Alpine foothills. The Via Claudia Augusta was one of the most important Roman roads connecting northern Italy with southern Germany. Even in the time of the Roman Emperor Claudius, it was used to cross the Alps by wagon.

To develop the new province, later called Raetia, the route from Feltria/Feltre via Tridentum (Trento) and the Reschen Pass, the Upper Inn Valley, and the Fern Pass to the Lech River was already being expanded. The road was finally completed, made accessible to wagons throughout, renovated, and extended to the Danube under Emperor Claudius.

In the first two centuries AD, the Via Claudia Augusta was the most important connection between the Adriatic Sea, the Po Valley, and the western Alpine foothills. The road was of particular importance for the Roman imperial postal service. As usual, it was monitored by the Benefiziarii, a traffic police force composed of legionnaires assigned to ensure the maintenance of the road and the safety of its users. Over the years, a vibrant infrastructure developed along the road: inns and horse-changing stations (mansiones, mutationes) were established, some of which eventually grew into towns.

Unfortunately, the route of the Via Claudia in the Stettenhofen – Langweid area can no longer be reconstructed. The Lech River, which once had the ability to damage it with its rapid and unhindered flow, is likely responsible for the largely destroyed route in this area.
