Between rolling hills and ancient cultural landscapes, a special river winds its way through the heart of Bavaria: the Paar. At approximately 134 kilometers long, it may not be the longest, but it is one of the most fascinating waterways in southern Germany. The Paar rises north of Lake Ammersee, nestled in the gentle moraine landscape near Kaltenberg Castle. From there, it winds its way through charming towns like Walleshausen and Egling before reaching the Wittelsbach region near Mering. But instead of following the Lech, the Paar does something completely unexpected near Friedberg-Ottmaring – it takes a striking bend and leaves the Lech Valley in a northeasterly direction. This so-called Paar breakthrough is a true geological highlight. Formed by regressive erosion, it tells the story of a turbulent geological history. Until about 10,000 years ago, the Friedberger Ach was the lower course of the Paar – today, the river has carved out its own path. This phenomenon is called a river tapping. Along the Paar River, you'll find a diverse natural landscape. It's not uncommon to spot storks in the adjacent meadows. The Paar River is more than just a body of water—it's a habitat, a natural experience, and a quiet companion for hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers. And it's precisely here that it demonstrates its uniqueness.

In this section the Paar makes a tight loop and the nature there is worth a short stop at any time of year.

St. Martin is one of the oldest churches in the Wittelsbach region. The previous building was probably a chapel dedicated to St. Vitus. He is still the patron saint of the church today, along with St. Martin. The Gothic tower was decorated with volutes in the late Renaissance or early Baroque period. According to a date in the vault, the choir was built in 1488. The nave of the church was built in 1875/76 using the original, late Gothic masonry.

The castle was originally a moated castle, two sides of which can still be seen. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded into a four-winged complex. In 1675, the castle was given its baroque appearance. A bay window and a square clock tower with an onion dome were added to the east. The south wing, the gatehouse and the outbuildings were unfortunately demolished. The castle and its park are not open to the public.

The castle is private and can only be viewed from the street

There is a three-winged baroque castle in Haslangkreit. There used to be a medieval moated castle here, which was rebuilt in the 17th century. The building is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.

There is a pretty church at the entrance to Unterbernbach. It is worth taking a look inside, especially for the late Gothic choir.
