Lochbach at Mandichosee

Highlight • River

The Lochbach, formerly also called Brunnenlech, is a 9 km long left canal of the Lech in front of and in Augsburg.

The name Brunnenlech probably goes back to the fact that the water power from the canal in the waterworks at the Red Gate was used to supply the fountains in Augsburg. However, their drinking water was not drawn from the Lochbach, but from the Brunnenbach.

The Lochbach was already a canalized tributary of the Lech in the Middle Ages, supplying Augsburg's extensive canal network with water for use. As the Vorderer Lech, it powered four city mills as early as the 11th century, including the Pfladermühle.

In Haunstetten it has been used since the 19th century to supply energy to the industry that was emerging there (including Martini).

Lochbach

Highlight (Segment) • River

Completely unexpectedly we find ourselves driving along the Lochbach - when the Lech was our orientation. The beautiful thing about the Lochbach is the clearing around it - the forest is in the background. Relaxed kilometers in a good atmosphere.
