The idyllic Achstürze-Piburger See nature reserve was formed by a massive landslide after the last ice age. The hike leads from Sautens along the Ötztaler Ache to the "wild waters", the impressive "Achstürze". The Ache is crossed via the adventurous Weller Bridge and through a wildly rugged "fairy tale forest" with huge landslide blocks up to the natural jewel Piburger See. The return route can be taken via the Seejöchl to Haderlehn back to Sautens.
