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.
