Next to the Lech dam 22 is the Lochbach branch, where the Lochbach is diverted from the Lech. The Lochbach is 14.5 km long and was once an important part of Augsburg's water supply from the 11th century until 1879.

The Lech barrage 22 - Unterbergen is a barrage on the Lech between Landsberg and Augsburg, located at the level of the village of Unterbergen, which belongs to the municipality of Schmiechen. It is located at river kilometer 60.4. The associated run-of-river power plant was built between 1980 and 1982 on behalf of Bayerische Wasserkraft AG (BAWAG) and has an output of 12.4 megawatts. The plant is operated by E.ON Wasserkraft.

Next to the barrage is the Lochbach branch, which feeds the Lochbach with Lech water. In contrast to the barrage 23 further north, the reservoir at Unterbergen has no kiosk and only a few bathing opportunities.

The area around the Lech barrage 22 offers a wide range of leisure activities. There are numerous hiking and cycling trails that lead through the attractive landscape. Tours along the Lech are particularly popular, as they provide insights into the flora and fauna of the region.

Lech dam 22 is also interesting for anglers. The water is managed by the Augsburg Fishing Association, which issues guest cards for anglers. The most common target fish include perch, pike, rainbow trout, chub and burbot.

Lech dam 22 is therefore not only an important technical structure for generating energy, but also an attractive destination for nature lovers and leisure activities.
