Landsberg am Lech: Germany's largest roundabout delights visitors!
In Germany there has been a remarkable development in the road network since the 1990s. Roundabouts in particular have become more important. Where traffic lights and yield signs used to characterize intersections, creative and functional traffic solutions are now in demand. This is particularly impressive at the largest roundabout in Germany, which can be found in Landsberg am Lech. This impresses with a diameter of 330 meters and a travel distance of 1,037 meters Augsburger Allgemeine reported.
The roundabout, an important traffic artery, connects the A96 motorway with the B17 federal highway and is essential for travelers who want to go to the Allgäu or Lake Constance. Despite its size, many drivers often don't notice it because they simply drive over it. But tourists have long since discovered it - it has been listed as a tourist attraction on Google Maps and receives a high rating of 4.5 stars from visitors!
Roundabouts in comparison
Five exits take road users to different destinations:
- A96 in Richtung Lindau
- B17 nach Füssen
- Verbindungsstraße ins Stadtzentrum von Landsberg
- A96 nach München
- B17 zurück nach Augsburg
Around 186,000 cubic meters of material, mainly high-quality gravel, were moved to build the impressive roundabout. Its role as a tourist attraction has also increased public interest, and it is becoming increasingly clear that German cities are increasingly investing in modern transport infrastructure to meet mobility needs, as shown by figures and statistics from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. The publication “Traffic in Numbers” contains a lot of information about investments and the mobility behavior of Germans, such as BMV explained.
Cities in neighboring countries such as Italy, France and Spain have long used the concept of roundabouts, but Germany is on the right track to catch up in this regard. This is not only practical, but also ensures smoother traffic and fewer traffic jams. Well-known roundabouts in Germany such as the Große Stern in Berlin and the Franz-Eberhofer-Kreisel in Frontenhausen show that the trend is also very popular here.
Landsberg am Lech with its incomparable roundabout remains not only the largest, but also an outstanding attraction in the German traffic area. So if you're looking for a little adventure, you definitely shouldn't miss a bypass!
