    This is barrage 22. The photos are a bit confusing because the canoe route is at least 14 km away from here.

      Imposing barrage on the Lech River.

      At barrage 22, the water is diverted from the Lech River to the Lochbach, where three additional, smaller weirs are located. On the northern edge of Augsburg, the wide, parallel Lech Canal branches off towards Meitingen and only flows back into the riverbed after more than 20 kilometers. Along this Lech Canal are three power plants built between 1898 and 1922 (Gersthofen, Langweid, and Meitingen canal power plants). The power plants along the Lech generate an average of approximately 3–4 billion kilowatt hours of electrical energy per year.
