The Lechauenweg between weir 18 and 19 is a narrow forest path mostly close to the Lech River. Almost like in a primeval forest, you will repeatedly find beautiful spots to linger with a wonderful view over the Lech. Very rich in water birds which can be well observed with binoculars, provided you behave quietly.
The return is on the east side of the Lech on a forest road.

The "Follow the River" route series aims to completely hike the Lech on the German side in 4 stages from Füssen to the Danube estuary.
With these routes, I want to raise awareness about the massive destruction of our environment and sensitize people to these issues, because the construction of a total of 20 weirs between Füssen and Augsburg straightened, concreted, and practically forced the Lech into a corset, which led to drying out and a massive loss of species in the Lech floodplains.
The Lech was once a proud wild river. Sometimes up to two kilometers wide, with side arms, channels, and floodplain landscapes that were true natural paradises. Strongly fluctuating water levels testified to its primeval and untamed power; debris masses as well as typical mountain flowers were transported from the mountains to the valley, and after each flood, a new landscape presented itself. Nearly extinct fish swam in its waters, alpine flowers bloomed on its gravel and sand banks, and rare birds, like the Lech tern, nested in its floodplains.
Due to the point-to-point hiking, I made sure that the respective start and endpoints are accessible by public transport.
This route describes the stage between Augsburg and Kaufering. The path starts in Augsburg at the train station and leads along the west side of the Lech to the train station in Kaufering.
