At the northern end of the Wolfzahnau, the Wertach River flows into the Lech River. The Lech and Wertach rivers converge in the Wolfzahnau – a landscape conservation area within the city of Augsburg, located on the western bank of the Lech River. The Lech carries greenish water, while the Wertach carries brownish water.

The Lech is a right tributary of the Danube. The 256 km long river originates in Vorarlberg in the Hochtannberg region at the confluence of the Spullerbach and Formarinbach streams in the Tannläger valley. It flows through Tyrol and southern Bavaria, where it empties into the Danube. Shortly before the Austrian-German border, it joins the Vils river, forms the artificial Lechfall near Füssen, and crosses Swabia and Upper Bavaria on its way. The largest cities on the Lech are Landsberg and Augsburg; in this city, it receives its largest tributary, the Wertach. The river empties into the Danube near Marxheim. Source: Wikipedia

In the city center there are several really impressive fountains with many details to discover.

Please stop there and take a look.

The Dutchman Hubert Gerhard had been working on the models for the figures in the Augustus Fountain since 1588: the bronze figures were cast in 1590/91. The fountain in front of the town hall was inaugurated in 1594. The larger-than-life bronze figure of the city's founder, Augustus, stands on its pillar. The pillar is decorated with herms modeled on Italian fountains, with water spurting out of their breasts as well as the mouths of the dolphins held by putti. The Augustus Fountain becomes a monument to the imperial city's water management through the embodiment of four bodies of water on the edge of the basin and their attributes. Two male figures represent the wild mountain rivers Lech (spruce wreath and raft oar) and Wertach (oak leaf wreath and fishing net). Two female figures represent the mill river Singold (wreath of wheat and a mill wheel quarter) and the Brunnenbach that provides drinking water (crown and drinking water jug).

I really liked the fountain on our tour.

No special skill required.
