High drain Augsburg

Highlight • Monument

Here you can hear the water rushing! The Hochablass has been damming the Lech since the late Middle Ages and diverting water into the city's canals - a relief for crafts, trades and later industrial enterprises. First mentioned in a document in 1346, the plant was rebuilt in its present location in 1552. The listed reinforced concrete structure received its current form after a flood in 1912. As part of the Augsburg water management system, the Hochablasse has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019.

Kuhsee

Highlight • Lake

Particularly beautiful early in the morning when everything is still quiet. A very popular excursion destination on nice days, which then becomes correspondingly lively.

Kuhsee Augsburg

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The Kuhsee is an artificially created lake in the Hochzoll district of Augsburg. The name Kuhsee arose from the fact that urban herds of cows were led to water at the old backwater that was connected to the Lech. The backwater of the Lech was already popularly known as the Kuhsee. Wikipedia

Since we hadn't quite had enough of the sunshine after visiting Haspelmoor today, we took a short walk around Kuhsee (Cow Lake) and saw some waterfowl. 🦆
