The Lechsee and the Lech itself are always worth a visit.

The water is usually still, reflecting the surrounding floodplains and forest strips, while rolling hills loom on the horizon. The vastness of the reservoir can be best appreciated, especially from the dam or the riverside paths—a peaceful place where waterfowl circle and nature reveals its tranquil side.
