Description

This beautiful circular hiking trail leads from Lechaschau along one of the last wild rivers to the Platten district of Höfen. At the level of the airfield, the path crosses the Lech River over a small bridge at the point where the Romans did it hundreds of years ago. On the outskirts of Ehenbichl, continue towards Reutte. The circular hike ends after crossing the turquoise Lech again at the church in Lechaschau.
