Until 1914, it was the main transport route for many goods such as wood, stone and lime: for centuries, the Lech determined life in the rafting village of Lechbruck. The rafting museum deals with this tradition and shows the history of rafting, but above all the hard life and work of the rafters and their families in Lechbruck. The museum is housed in a building dating back to 1645, parts of which have been preserved in their original state.
