It flows in a north-north-easterly direction and crosses the German border forming the Lechfall, a 12 m high waterfall; afterwards the river enters a narrow gorge (Lechschlucht).
		At Lechfeld, a stony plain between the Lech and the Wertach, near Augsburg, Otto I defeated the Magyars in August 955.
