The Paar (German pronunciation: [paːɐ] ⓘ) is a river of Bavaria, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Danube. For several tens of kilometers, the Paar flows parallel to the Lech, at only a few km distance. Near Augsburg, the Paar leaves the Lech valley and turns north-east towards Ingolstadt. It flows into the Danube near Vohburg. Towns and municipalities along the Paar include Egling, Mering, Aichach, Schrobenhausen and Manching.
