PICTURE-BOOK ALMSPure idyll can be found in the small mountain village of Niederthai; a little further it becomes even more romantic. A small detour to the lovely Alm, the Wiesle, is worth it: in the middle of the forest, a fragrant alpine meadow opens up, in which a small chapel and next to it the Wiesle rest. As in former times, as if time stood still up here. Also on the Hemrachalms, the next intermediate destination, the originality can truly be sensed.The place name already reveals the landscape setting, from the long field. Down in the valley, you can see that Längenfeld was underwater long ago and appeared as a large lake instead of the long, wide fields. Shortly before the destination, you can still observe the wild wave dance of the Fischbach, the largest tributary of the Ötztaler Ache.
Travel comfortably and safely to the Ötztal train station by train. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel through the whole valley to your desired destination by public transport or local taxi companies.
