Hiking at the Lech

Spring is coming. The first flowery heralds are already there to announce it.

Yesterday (Sunday) Barbara and I went on a 17-kilometre hike from Klosterlechfeld to Landsberg am Lech. The weather forecast was only so-so, but we put on our hiking boots and raingear and started optimistically -- and rightly so.

We came along two barrages (Staustufen) of the Lech and saw sport-rowboats and many waterbirds. Lots of swans, but also grey geese. They liked to fly in pairs, always quacking -- to keep in acoustic contact, I suppose.

After we passed Kaufering, we made a lunch break. The weather remained good and we even had some sunshine for part of the way.

Finally after 4 or 5 hours, we reached our destination Landsberg and rewarded ourselves with a lovely Italian meal in the picturesque old medieval town. Then we took the train back to Klosterlechfeld.
