About this audio guide
This guide to the Lechfall in Füssen starts with a legend about Saint Magnus, the monk remembered as the apostle of the Allgäu, and a gorge he had to get across in a hurry. It follows the pilgrims who came to see a hollow in the rock, and the eighteenth-century builders who reshaped the river in front of you. Best heard from the King Max footbridge, looking down into the gorge.
