Description

The start is in Niederthai at the Sennhof parking lot (next to the information center). From there, you go directly over the wooden bridge and turn left at the fire station towards the district Höfle. At Höfle, the street continues uphill to the district Bichl on the right. During the ascent to Bichl, you pass a viewpoint where you can enjoy a wonderful view. Those who like can continue the small route up to "Platte." There, a panoramic view awaits downhill towards Umhausen and the front part of the Ötztal as well as the surrounding Ötztal mountains. The walking path is also very suitable for families and with strollers/buggies.
