Because of the dense vegetation on the lake shore, there are not many places with a view. Here is one! And you can see Altkaufering on the other side of the reservoir. A bench is also available.

A beautiful Sunday walk in bright sunshine along the Lech from barrage 18 to Kaufering and back.

The Miteinander-Weg is a beautiful circular path around the Lechstaustufe 18, with many benches and informative information boards on geology 🪨 and biology 🧪In Kaufering, the inn "Zur Brücke" offers you a place to stop for a break 🍺

After the sumptuous lunch buffet in the gourmet temple, we absolutely had to reduce the calories again and started a frosty 🥶 winter hike on the Together Path around the icy Lechstaustufe near Kaufering. On the Together Path we 🐕‍🦺🧑‍🌾 were alone today, but it was a nice round in frosty ❄️ cold and clear air unfortunately without sun 🌞

I liked the old purchase ring. Unfortunately, the church was closed, but the old fire engine and the huge chestnut tree allowed me to ignore it.


I imagined the way around the lake differently: more view of the water. But that was almost better for the still …

The absolute highlight was the black swan and you could experience that from such a short distance....

It's simply beautiful here, and there are many hiking options in charming surroundings. The starting point was the parking lot (free) right next to the barrage.

Today's round went around the Kauferinger reservoir (= Lechstaustufe 18). I added a detour to the Hurlacher Heide. The tour was pleasant to walk, but unfortunately too asphalt-heavy. The way is well signposted. Tour description at:
module.tourinfra.com/landsberg/details.php?id=110163


The weather was foggy and the temperature was around 6°C. Typical November weather!
