Moderate mountain trail; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers; good physical condition, mountain experience, and mountain equipment (see equipment section) are necessary. Please pay attention to the current weather report.
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing is required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions on hikes without a place to stop, is necessary.
A SMALL PARADISE FORMED BY A LANDSLIDEThe valley floor of Längenfeld presents itself in lush green and with a dreamy expanse stretching over 20 kilometers. The Lehner Waterfall is also a scenic marvel: a considerable amount of mountain water crashes 80 meters deep into the gorge. Benches and wooden platforms invite you to rest and offer a magnificent panorama over the endless expanse of the place. A massive landslide over 10,000 years ago left still visible traces and a paradisiacal flora and fauna throughout the landslide area. In the middle, a jade-green shallow mountain lake, gentle structural staging makes children's eyes grow bigger. At Winkelbergsee, the small water park, and the adjoining geo- and animal nature trail, there is always action.Slightly above the lake, nestled between alpine pastures and mountain forests, lies Wurzbergalm. The many sounds and smells of the forest accompany us further to the small village of Köfels, which lies on a high plateau and was formed due to the Köfels landslide. The stage destination is soon reached, in the valley town of Umhausen.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Then you can travel conveniently and quickly with public transport or local taxi companies throughout the valley to your desired destination.
