View of the Karolinenwehr and the Old Town of Landsberg am Lech
Highlight • Monument
The Karolinenwehr is a four-stage weir of the Lech near the old town of Landsberg am Lech.
To the right of the weir system, which was probably built in 1364, is the Mühlbach, which used to drive mills and is now used to generate electricity. The originally single-stage weir was severely damaged several times by floods and was expanded in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries by installing additional stages. The weir has been rebuilt several times over the past decades, most recently between 1993 and 1996.
A bypass existed for rafting, on which rafts were led around the weir over the wooden plank route of the "long journey" for a fee. After rafting declined in the 20th century, the "long journey" was canceled in the 1970s.

“… Karolinenbrücke – named after Max I Joseph’s wife. The bridge is of course much older, as it formed the basis for Landsberg's wealth from the salt trade. Thankfully, Henry the Lion also localized its route in Landsberg. And for which the city collected customs. When Max I Joseph inaugurated the bridge on January 1, 1806, it was far more representative than before. After Max's merger with Napoleon, it led to Swabia, which had finally become Bavarian. Architect Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking created a bridge with gallant central arches - which was dilapidated after just seven years. In 1910 it was destroyed by the flood, in 1930 it was widened and in 1952 the present bridge was built. ...”

View of St. Ottilien Abbey
Highlight • Viewpoint
The archabbey is the main monastery of the Ottilian Congregation. It was founded in 1884 by the Swiss Andreas Amrhein. The entire monastery association includes 1,100 monks in 19 countries, of which around 110 live in St. Ottilien.
The pilgrimage to St. Ottilia in Emming has been proven since 1365. In the 16th century, Emming was expanded into a manor. The Ottilien chapel and a small castle were built. In the 17th century, the castle and chapel were baroque. The estate changed hands several times over the course of time; the castle was demolished in 1884. Finally, Andreas Amrhein, a Benedictine of the Beuron Archabbey, acquired the abandoned hamlet in 1886 and founded Sankt Ottilien in 1887.

Amper outflow from Ammersee
Highlight • River
The Amper leaves the Ammersee in Stegen and begins its peaceful run through the large reed area of the Ampermoos.
After the pilgrimage church Grafrath begins a brisk, varied route.
The Amper has dug its way through a beautiful forest gorge.
Only by boat we can reach this idyll.
Between Schöngeising and Fürstenfeldbruck, the river becomes narrower and faster and, as a highlight, there is a lively stage after Schöngeising.

Blue Bridge over the Amper
Highlight • Bridge
Ammer and Amper are often mentioned in the same breath, because the two rivers together form a river system. The Ammer (and its upper course, the Linder) is probably one of the last wild rivers in this country. It rises in the Ammer Mountains (Oberammergau) and flows into the Ammersee (just behind Weilheim). Amper is then the part that flows out of the Ammersee and finally flows into the Isar (near Moosburg).
