Here you can hear the water rushing! The Hochablass has been damming the Lech since the late Middle Ages and diverting water into the city's canals - a relief for crafts, trades and later industrial enterprises. First mentioned in a document in 1346, the plant was rebuilt in its present location in 1552. The listed reinforced concrete structure received its current form after a flood in 1912. As part of the Augsburg water management system, the Hochablasse has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019.

Take care in winter! Wear good footwear as it can be difficult to walk on in snow and ice.
