In the wider destination of Landsberg am Lech

The wider destination of Landsberg am Lech encompasses distinct themes relating to the town and its surrounding landscape. The Bayertor gate in Landsberg am Lech has stood since 1425 and is considered one of Bavaria’s finest Gothic buildings. The Mutterturm in Landsberg am Lech is an exceptional monument to Historicism, commissioned by Herkomer in honour of his mother. The two buildings offer different themes to explore: Gothic architecture at the Bayertor and Herkomer’s personal tribute at the Mutterturm.

Guided town tours take visitors through Landsberg’s old town and recount its eventful history. Topics include dukes and electors, the salt trade, raftsmen, dyers and tanners, Jesuits and Ursulines, as well as legends from the Middle Ages to modern times. The stories therefore range from local history and trade to crafts and religious communities.

The Landsberg am Lech City Museum is an open, lively place that presents the town’s history and connects it with questions of the present. On the Leitenberg, it offers one of the finest views of the town of Landsberg. This brings historical themes together with a view of the town. Lechpark Pössinger Au is the town of Landsberg’s main local recreation area. Its woodland, meadows and floodplain landscape is home to animal and plant species that have become rare. The LechErlebnisWeg starts at Landsberg’s main square and follows the course of the river for much of its length.

Lake Ammersee is also part of this regional picture: it lies entirely within the district of Landsberg am Lech. After Lake Chiemsee and Lake Starnberg, it is Bavaria’s third-largest lake and a popular local recreation destination. Boat trips, water sports and attractive lakeside promenades are among the options; the lake also provides space for sporting and cultural activities amid the natural surroundings of the Bavarian Alpine foothills. Here, the focus is on the water, while Lechpark is characterised by woodland, meadows and floodplains.
