Lake Ammersee is Bavaria’s third largest lake and offers a variety of water sports activities: Swimming, sailing, windsurfing, rowing or taking a ride on a steamboat. It is the ideal starting point to discover the fantastic art treasures and wonders of nature of the alpine upland. The appeal in the landscape alongside the river Lech – from the city of Augsburg to the city of Füssen – lays in the beauty of the intact nature as well as in the many idyllic towns and villages that make hiking a real pleasure. The exploitation of the enchanting and appealing area can also be accomplished by bike. About 300 kilometres of well-paved cycle paths lead through the 804 square kilometres of the administrative district, which is crossed by the famous “Romantic Road” from north to south. One of the most beautiful long-distance hiking trails, the “König-Ludwig-Weg” (total length 120 kilometres) ties in its southern part with the Lech ridge trail (Landsberg – Füssen).
