Wolfzahnau, Protected nature area in Augsburg, Germany
The Wolfzahnau spans 76 hectares at the intersection of the Lech and Wertach rivers, featuring natural paths and diverse wildlife species.
The area received its official protection status in 1998, previously serving as a natural floodplain with extensive alder forests along both rivers.
The name Wolfzahnau derives from the area's wolf tooth shape, a reference established in 1879 when the Augsburg magistrate renamed it after a local inn.
Visitors can explore multiple hiking routes through the protected landscape, with the main trail starting from Augsburg Central Station.
A historical hydroelectric power plant from 1902 stands in the southern section, combining all canals of the Lech region into one broad outlet channel.
