This is part of the boat trip and is suitable for families as well as romantics. Also in the evening you can borrow boats with small lights and spend a trip in the dark on the water with your loved one.

The lower St. Jacob's Water Tower is located on the moat near the Oblatterwall near the Augsburg boat trip. It was formerly part of the Augsburg city wall and was built in 1609 by Augsburg city master builder Elias Holl.

In the past, there were originally two water towers in the Jakobervorstadt, which supplied the Fuggerei with drinking water in addition to the Jakobervorstadt. The second, upper St. Jacob's Water Tower at the Jakobertor was destroyed in 1944 by a bombing hit.

If you stroll through Augsburg, you can still discover six historic water towers: the large and small water tower and the Kastenturm at the Rote Tor, the Unteren Brunnenturm at the Mauerberg, the lower St. Jakobs Water Tower at the Gänsbühl and the newly discovered at the Vogeltor.

The historic water tower is a beautiful building from the old water supply system in Augsburg, which is a special monument.
