Holzgau is considered the pearl of the Lech Valley, not least because of its many beautifully painted houses. The small town is also a good starting point for all kinds of outdoor activities in the Lech Valley. In summer, the region is perfect for hiking, and in winter, skiing and snowshoeing are a popular activity. Special attractions nearby include the 200-meter-long Holzgau suspension bridge over the Höhenbachtal Gorge and the Simms Waterfall via ferrata.

The Lüftlmalerei stood in the 18th and 19th centuries for the great prosperity of Holzgauer seasonal workers who had made it to something abroad. Worth seeing.
