The Lech bridge near Epfach is decorated with a sculpture of St. Lawrence. The view of the Lech is just great.

Historical buildings, towers and gates – the city's 850-year history is omnipresent in Landsberg. The best way to discover the medieval streets and picturesque districts is on a guided city tour.

From 1700, the New Town Hall was built in several phases. From 1719 to 1721 the building was extended by Dominikus Zimmermann and redesigned with a finely structured, towering gable front. The windows were staggered in size depending on the importance of the rooms behind them. The stucco facade is one of the most important profane creations of the master builder, who lived as a citizen in Landsberg from 1716 to 1757 and also temporarily served as a mayor here.

The Lechner is called the Karolinenwehr.
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. ...”
