Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

Walk in a southerly direction along the romantic Lech to the bridge and cross it. After the bridge, follow the signpost "Zum Baichlstein". First take the wide road to the fork in the path, then turn left along the forest path, climbing slightly around the Baichlstein. The last steep section up the Baichlstein is on the hiking trail.
Now you can admire the unique Lechzopf - and enjoy the beautiful view of the upper Lechtal valley. 
Return to the fork in the trail towards Moos, then turn left towards Vorderhornbach. The beautifully laid out high-level trail blends harmoniously into the landscape. You reach the settlement of Schröfle and walk along the village road to the village hall.
Now walk along the Lechweg to Stanzach.
