A 9-hole golf course amid a park landscape and a castle restaurant in the forecourt give Igling two concrete themes to consider when choosing a trip. The wider Landsberg am Lech destination adds cultural and landscape themes in the town of Landsberg am Lech and at Lake Ammersee.
Golf and a castle restaurant in Igling
The golf course at Igling Castle has been in operation since 1991 and lies amid a park landscape. Nine holes describe the size of the course, while the park landscape describes its setting. For golf enthusiasts, both features offer concrete points of reference when choosing a destination. The castle restaurant is in the forecourt of Igling Castle and adds a different, culinary accent. Check the operator’s information before visiting.
Culture in Landsberg am Lech
In the wider Landsberg am Lech destination, various buildings in the town of Landsberg am Lech represent different chapters in the town’s history. The Bayertor has stood since 1425 and is considered one of Bavaria’s finest Gothic buildings. The Mutterturm is an exceptional monument to Historicism. Herkomer had it built in honour of his mother. Together, the gate and tower offer two different cultural perspectives: Gothic architecture and a monument dedicated to a personal subject.
Town history and views
The Landsberg am Lech Town Museum explores the town’s history and connects it with questions of the present. It is located on the Leitenberg and offers one of the finest views of the town. History and the present come together here as themes; the view of Landsberg is also one of the museum’s special features.
Guided tours take visitors through Landsberg’s old town and recount its eventful history. Topics include dukes and prince-electors, as well as the salt trade, raftsmen, dyers and tanners. Jesuits and Ursulines are also featured. The stories range from legends of the Middle Ages to the modern era. Those interested in the town’s development will find a thematic introduction that places buildings and town life in their historical context.
Landscape and water in the wider destination
The Lechpark Pössinger Au is the main local recreation area for the town of Landsberg. Its landscape includes woodland, meadows and floodplains, and it is also home to animal and plant species that have become rare. The LechErlebnisWeg offers a different point of reference: it starts at Landsberg’s main square and follows the course of the river for most of its route. The park foregrounds landscape features and nature, while the trail is defined by its starting point in town and its route along the Lech.
Lake Ammersee is also part of the wider Landsberg am Lech destination: it lies entirely within the Landsberg am Lech district. After Lake Chiemsee and Lake Starnberg, it is Bavaria’s third-largest lake and a popular local recreation destination. Boat trips, water sports and attractive lakeside promenades are among its offerings. The lake is also a place for sporting and cultural activities in the natural surroundings of the Bavarian Alpine foothills. The theme of water thus complements the history of the town and the landscapes along the Lech with a focus of its own.
