First: we did this hike in winter with snow, but we recommend doing it when it is snow-free, as the paths in the Kissinger Heide area are hardly recognizable without constant GPS tracking.

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.

Two jewels and very special landscape gardenersThe Lechfeld between Augsburg and Landsberg is characterized by its dry gravel areas, whose heaths are still partly kept open today by itinerant sheep farming. Their biodiversity is unique in Germany, mainly because the heaths and dry forests are repeatedly interspersed with wetlands. The best known is the Königsbrunner Heide with its marsh gladioli, probably the largest occurrence in Central Europe. The relief was created by the Lech, which once flowed as a heavily branched river in many channels. Centuries of pasture and meadow use have led to nutrient depletion of the soils. Since 2007, wild horses have also been used.
