Description

This circular hike leads through part of the Leutasch Valley and combines moments of water, forest, and pure enjoyment in a leisurely walking tour at the foot of the Wetterstein Mountains.

Our starting point is the music pavilion in Weidach, which you can reach by car (P15) or via the Weidach Zentrum bus stop. Enjoy a short loop around the natural biotope behind the pavilion before following the signpost towards “Weidachsee” at the road junction. Pass the Katzner Chapel and turn left again opposite the main entrance of Hotel Quellenhof. Follow the path until you reach the idyllic shore of Lake Weidachsee.

Lake Weidachsee is a fishing lake where anyone can fish for a small fee – even without a fishing license. Continue past the lake café with its own fishery – a stop here is particularly tempting – and walk left along the lakeside promenade.

At the southern shore, the trail leads into the forest, where it forms a small loop. At the junction, keep left towards Kirchplatzl. From here, you reach the Leutascher Ache River, which flows through the entire 16-kilometre-long valley and is a scenic companion in every season.

Follow the river downstream, pass the Alpenbad Leutasch, and finally reach a crossroads in the Weidach district, with the Norz sports shop on the corner. Turn right here and stroll along the sidewalk through the village, returning comfortably to your starting point at the music pavilion.
