It's fun to drive here, if you want you can step on the gas or you can just enjoy the peace and quiet, away from the traffic.

In fact, the path between the Lech and the Lech Canal is dead straight, even if you can use a slightly different path here and there. Mostly you drive on the dike. But here and there there is the opportunity to look at the Lech.
