Cycle tour Ötztal Cycle Path stage 3: Umhausen - Längenfeld

The Ötztal Cycle Path features some inclines and should not be underestimated in this regard.

BIKE BEHAVIOR RULES

1. Always ride on the right, at controlled speed and, if necessary, at half visibility, especially on narrow sections and sharp curves, as counter-traffic or obstacles can be expected at any time (e.g., bollards, barriers, stones, branches, cattle grids, other vehicles).
2. Note that the roads and paths used often have mixed uses and obstructions may occur at any time (e.g., agricultural and forestry vehicles, authorized vehicles, temporarily stored wood, grazing livestock).
3. Show consideration especially to pedestrians and other cyclists, overtake only at walking pace.
4. Consider the technical and physical difficulty level of your cycling route and assess your experience and skills as a cyclist accurately (for bike or e-bike beginners, a safety training course is recommended if needed).
5. Protect your head with a helmet and check your equipment before each cycling tour (brakes, bell, light, reflectors, etc.).
6. Observe driving bans and barriers. Close the pasture gates.
7. Respect animals and nature and avoid riding off the streets and paths that are open for cycling traffic.
8. Do not leave any waste behind.
9. According to traffic regulations, only e-bikes/pedelecs with a maximum speed of 25 km/h are permitted on cycle paths.

Gear up! We recommend wearing special bike protective gear on all cycling and mountain bike routes in the Ötztal region. We recommend bringing enough water.
