Lechleite
The Lechleite is the steep bank (or the steep slope ) that borders the Lech valley in the east (also Wertach -Leite) and west .
During the crack ice age , the Lech created a wide bed as a glacial meltwater flow and formed the steep Lechleite on its banks. The Lech leite can rise up to 80 m high from the Lech level . The area is characterized by changing damp soil conditions, hillside springs with natural tuff channels (Crotonenvon commtatum moss , subalpine spring meadows ) and gravel baked into rocks ( Nagelfluh ).
The Lechleite offers a sweeping view over the Lech Valley, which is why many castles and palaces were built on the edge of this hill. Examples: Schloss Friedberg , Burgstall Fuchsberg , Burgstall Kissing , Burgstall Mühlhausen , Burgstall Rehling , Burgstall Sandau , Burgstall Sand , Schloss Scherneck , Schloss Mergenthau .
