LEW-Werkkanal, Industrial canal in Meitingen, Germany.
The LEW-Werkkanal extends 18 kilometers along the Lech River, featuring a width of 28 meters and seven road bridges throughout its length.
Construction of the canal began in 1898 with a three-kilometer section, leading to the establishment of the Gersthofen power plant in 1901.
The Lechmuseum Bayern at Langweid power station presents exhibits about the water management systems and industrial development of the region.
Three hydroelectric power stations along the canal generate electricity for the surrounding areas, while gravel traps prevent sediment accumulation.
The canal surrounds a land strip varying from 100 to 500 meters wide, creating distinct ecological zones alongside its course.
