The Paar breaks through the edge heights of the Lechrain here. This course is quite young and has only formed in the last 10,000 years. At the end of the last Ice Age, the Upper Paar still flowed into the Lech near Mering. However, over 9,000 years ago, it was diverted by the last major gravel accumulation of the Lech, which blocked the mouth into the Lech valley, and had to flow along a marginal channel to Thierhaupten, which is now used by the Friedberger Ach, before it could flow into the main river. The Lower Paar subsequently incised backwards step by step into the Lechrain, eventually tapping into the Upper Paar and diverting it into its bed – the Paar breakthrough was created. Today, the Paar flows into the Danube east of Ingolstadt.
We start at the neo-Gothic parish church of St. Michael, 506 m, in Ottmaring. When the tower of the old church was damaged by a fire in 1865, the church was rebuilt according to plans by the Augsburg architect Max Treu until 1878. From here we go to the mouth, turn left and pass the cemetery – opposite is the war memorial with the adjoining Leiten slope. Leaving the wayside chapel, whose paintings from the 19th century show God and the four Evangelists, on the right, we go down into the Paar valley to Rederzhausen. The yellow tower is by the way the water tower. After the sawmill first mentioned in 1534, which still operates today, we reach the idyllic chapel of St. Thomas, 486 m, built around 1698/99 on the site of a predecessor. It was probably a pilgrimage station on the way to St. Leonhard in Inchenhofen. The pedestrian and cycle path leads us past the Paar on the left. Then we follow the pedestrian and cycle path along Pfarrer-Fiegl-Straße to the left. On the left there is a view
