Mountain hikes Treetop Trail | Barrier-free

Accessible Travel through the treetops—with spectacular views of the Lech River and the impressive mountain landscape. Classification: moderate

Description

The accessible treetop trail offers glimpses into the fascinating world of the treetops and into the flora and fauna of various forest types and tree species. Thanks to the trail’s location and elevation, it offers spectacular views of the Lech’s wild river landscape, as well as the Tirolean mountains and the Bavarian Alpine foothills. The connection to the Ziegelwies Forest Experience Center and the outstanding natural surroundings (riparian forest, the Lech River, and mountain forest) create an attraction that is truly one of a kind.
