Attraction Naturparkhaus Klimmbrücke

Elmen

It’s an unusual sight: Perched atop the central support of the 87-meter-long suspension bridge spanning the riverbed is the Tyrolean Lechtal Nature Park Visitor Center. It’s a welcome and informative stop for cyclists and hikers.

We recommend because:

  • The Nature Park Center stands on a bridge over the Lech River near Elmen—an extraordinary location in the heart of the wild river habitat
  • The “Adventure: Wild River” exhibition uses interactive displays to teach visitors about the wild river habitat
  • The Nature Park Center provides information about the Tiroler Lech Nature Park and serves as the starting point for guided tours. Outside, there’s also a nature park playground

Description

A nature park centre in the middle of a bridge is probably unique in the Alps. From the centre of the Klimmbrücke bridge near Elmen, you have a wonderful view of the wide riverbed of the Lech, probably the last untamed wild river in the northern Alps. The building houses the nature park administration and informs visitors about the special features and rare animals and plants of this unique natural landscape. The outdoor area is also ideal for a relaxing break, for example for cyclists and hikers travelling along the Lech and Lech cycle paths. While older visitors learn more in the open-air exhibition, children can let off steam in the nature playground with climbing facility and green labyrinth.
