Trail Reviews
The Lech Valley, said to be one of the most beautiful valleys in Austria, is truly beautiful. Following the Lech River on the B198, we reach Holzgau, where we find the largest suspension bridge in Austria. At 200.5 meters long, it is the longest free pedestrian suspension bridge in Austria. The ascent from the village is mostly through shady forest. The path is beautifully landscaped. The themed trail is also interesting.
A great way, with many play stations for the children. You have to see the suspension bridge.
Wild and free. This is how the Lechtal Valley presents itself. Not only because of the "Last Wild One." But also because of the steep, rugged, and seemingly unapproachable peaks. While the wild Lech River paints its patterns on the valley floor of the Lechtal landscape below, the flanks of the grassy and rocky mountains rise steeply into the Lechtal sky. As steep as the tops of the church steeples in the villages of this magnificent landscape. But anyone who thinks that the Lechtal Valley, with its many side valleys, is "only wild," is mistaken. The Lechtal Valley also has a gentle and tame side. Numerous easy hiking options, such as the bike tour around the Lechzopf, are proof of this. And also the hike on the Vitalweg trail near Holzgau.
