The interior is cozy and definitely invites you to linger for a while. If you walk about 400 meters further on the Hörgrabenweg and follow the first forest path leading left slightly uphill, you will reach the August-Ganghofer-Hütte. Pinecone target shooting on Nepomuk's nose Have fun with the target throwing: Hit the "Sparrow's Nest" with the pinecones! The game: Visitors pick up pinecones or spruce cones from the forest floor and try to hit a hole (the so-called "Sparrow's Nest") under the arm or directly the nose of the wooden figure of the bridge saint Nepomuk. The background: The station is part of a child-friendly adventure trail that playfully recalls the childhood of the homeland writer Ludwig Ganghofer, who grew up in Welden for a few years.

Depending on the water flow in the Lech, north of the weir in Gersthofen, the "river" is only fed by the water flowing through the fish ladder, with the water being primarily diverted into the Lech canal.😒

Paved path on the former railway line. It climbs for a few kilometers from Augsburg, then descends almost all the way to Horgau. Generally quite straight, but at some intersections there are "chicanes" that deliberately force slow driving.
