An idyllic little road between the two towns. It mostly runs through forest and some fields. The asphalt is of good quality and rolls along smoothly.

The Lechsee and the Lech itself are always worth a visit.

A beautiful spot. The old Ammer River flows into the Ammer here.

The Lech is one of the last wild rivers in the Alps. It is known for its clear, turquoise water, created by minerals and low water temperatures. The river once played an important role as a transport route. Today, it is used to generate electricity.
