The Lech is a right tributary of the Danube. The 256 km long river originates in Vorarlberg in the Hochtannberg region at the confluence of the Spullerbach and Formarinbach streams in the Tannläger valley. It flows through Tyrol and southern Bavaria, where it empties into the Danube. Shortly before the Austrian-German border, it joins the Vils river, forms the artificial Lechfall near Füssen, and crosses Swabia and Upper Bavaria on its way. The largest cities on the Lech are Landsberg and Augsburg; in this city, it receives its largest tributary, the Wertach. The river empties into the Danube near Marxheim. Source: Wikipedia

St. Peter's is a historically significant Baroque church in the heart of Neuburg. Reconstructed after its collapse in 1641, it blends harmoniously with the townscape. Inside, the gilded high altar, pulpit, and intricately crafted marble paneling, created in the mid-18th century, are impressive. The organ, built by Maximilian Offner in 1988, complements the Baroque ambience. It is a tranquil place with cultural substance and regional significance.
