Utting on Lake Ammersee combines the lake with forests and meadows, along with panoramic views of the mountains. This offers a blend of scenery and specific experiences when choosing a holiday destination: the lido, a steamer landing stage, a plant labyrinth and a high ropes course each provide a different focus. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether you would like to focus your stay more on the landscape, the water or active pursuits.

Experiences between the labyrinth, climbing routes and lake

The Ex Ornamentis labyrinth field is located in the leisure area on Fahrmannsbachstraße in Utting. It is made from sunflowers, hemp and maize, and a new design is created for visitors each year. The plant materials and changing design give the labyrinth two distinctive design features: the field’s thematic focus changes every year, while its appearance is shaped by sunflowers, hemp and maize.

The Ammersee high ropes course in Utting offers four climbing routes at different heights. Children aged six and over can climb on secured Level 1, at a height of three to five metres. The two leisure attractions offer quite different experiences: plants and changing designs shape a visit to the labyrinth, while the climbing routes at different heights are the main attraction at the high ropes course.

Utting Lido has a 10-metre-high diving tower. The Ammersee boat service also has a steamer landing stage in Utting. If you are planning a boat trip, check the current timetable in advance. This lets you consider a day at the lido and a planned steamer trip as different ways to enjoy the water during your stay.

Landsberg am Lech: Culture and landscape in the wider travel region

In the wider travel region of Landsberg am Lech, architectural landmarks and local history provide their own points of interest. The Bayertor in Landsberg am Lech has stood since 1425 and is considered one of Bavaria’s finest Gothic buildings. The Mutterturm in Landsberg am Lech is an exceptional monument to Historicism, commissioned by Herkomer in honour of his mother. The two buildings represent different historical associations: Gothic architecture on the one hand, and a monument dedicated to an individual on the other.

The Landsberg am Lech City Museum is an open, lively place that explores the town’s history and connects it with questions of the present day. On Leitenberg, it also offers one of the finest views of the town of Landsberg. Lechpark Pössinger Au is the town of Landsberg’s main local recreation area, encompassing woodland, meadows and floodplain with animal and plant species that have become rare. The museum, views of the town and landscape therefore offer different ways to explore this wider travel region.

Walking routes and guided town tours also add to this regional context. The LechErlebnisWeg starts at Landsberg’s main square and follows the course of the river for most of its route. Guided tours take visitors through the old town and tell the story of its eventful past. Topics include dukes and prince-electors, the salt trade, raftsmen, dyers and tanners, Jesuits and Ursulines, as well as legends from the Middle Ages to the modern era.
