POWER AND ENERGY ROOM LÄNGENFELDResearchers have discovered that the Längenfeld valley basin was underwater until around 900 AD, forming a lake. Today, the valley floor is covered with unusually fertile soil and almost tangible energy sources. Around Längenfeld and its hamlets, you can find many of these extraordinary power and energy spots marking the traces of the lake from a millennium ago. A network of trails named Kraftquell Längenfeld connects all these many power and energy moments.One of these is our next stop: Between the high plateaus Brand and Burgstein, you cross the 200m high suspension bridge. A power moment with a panoramic view of the flat lake basin, below a harmonious scene where lovely hamlets and small villages line up, with the Ötztaler Ache winding through its floodplains. With these impressions, the hike leads us to the next stage destination. Great contrasts are also found here, from quiet farms and original paths into the center of Sölden, where there is bustling activity!
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. From there, you can conveniently and quickly travel by public transport or local taxi companies throughout the valley to your desired destination.
