Weilheim-Schongau, Administrative district in Upper Bavaria, Germany

Weilheim-Schongau is a rural administrative district in Upper Bavaria comprising 34 municipalities spread across hills and valleys. The area is crossed by two major rivers and has access to significant lakes along its northern edge.

The present administrative structure formed in 1972 through a merger of two former districts. This reorganization shaped how the region developed and how it connects administratively today.

The district's name joins two historic towns that have long shaped life in the region. Visitors can experience these two places today as centers for understanding rural Bavarian traditions and how communities connect across the landscape.

The district stretches across several neighboring areas and is crossed by good road connections. Travelers find access to various villages and towns with regular connections in all directions.

A large lake in the north shapes the landscape and draws visitors from across the region for recreation. This natural feature connects many villages and towns around its shoreline.
