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 draw attention to the massive destruction of our environment and raise awareness about these issues, because the construction of a total of 20 weirs between Füssen and Augsburg straightened, concreted, and practically constrained the Lech in a corset, resulting in drying out and massive species extinction 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 was presented. Almost extinct fish now swam in its waters, alpine flowers bloomed on its gravel and sandbanks, and rare birds like the Lech tern nested in its floodplains.
Due to the long-distance hike, I made sure that the respective start and end points are accessible by public transport. Therefore, the stages do not always follow the flow direction of the Lech!

On the Tilly Trail In the Battle of Rain in 1632, the Bavarian general and commander-in-chief of the Catholic League, Count von Tilly, was seriously wounded and died about two weeks later. However, the battle also had an impact on the further course of the Thirty Years’ War, as the victorious Swedes were now able to advance unhindered into Bavaria and even as far as the Lech Valley in Tyrol. The hike takes us from Rain—which was founded as a town in 1250 to secure the Bavarian border against the Swabians—across the Lech River, which forms the border, to Oberndorf, where the Fugger family once ruled, and through the floodplain forests—some of which remain largely in their natural state—with streams and oxbow lakes where the extremely rare kingfisher also nests.
