This is St. George's Church in Westendorf. The establishment of the Westendorf parish dates back to the 7th century, but the construction of an oratory or chapel in honor of St. Mary and St. Gertrude by Bishop Embriko von Leiningen (1063 to 1070) is not documented until 1070. In its early days, the parish's fiefdom was initially held by the Truchsessen von Kühlenthal, but passed to the Bishopric of Augsburg in 1361. From this time until secularization in 1803, the prefects of Kühlental served as the bishopric's administrators or bailiffs.

It rolls along a paved forest/cycle path through the fields, free of car traffic. Except for the tractors, which we happily yield to.

The Wertach is the second longest river in the Allgäu.

Good place

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
