Landsberg am Lech (19 March 2006)

Landsberg am Lech (Landsberg on Lech) is a town in Southwest Bavaria, about 50km drive from Munich. The town is noted for its prison that housed Adolf Hitler when he was imprisoned in 1924 and wrote the book "Mein Kempf", but I thought the Lechwehr was much more interesting.

The Lechwehr is an artificial waterfall made of 5 steps on the River Lech.

Nice day, nice weather, so what's missing?
