course

The Laugna has its source in the Adelsried Basin, south of the Federal Motorway 8 and flows in a predominantly northward direction through the Augsburg Western Woods Nature Park . After running from Adelsried through the areas of the municipalities (or it forms their borders) Bonstetten , Welden , Emersacker and Laugna , the Laugna joins the Zusam at Wertingen , which flows 19 km further downstream in Donauwörth into the Danube .

history

The original Celtic name "Longna" was adopted by the Roman occupiers (15 BC). The current name arose from this over time.
