Längenfeld –> Brand –> Hängebrücke –> Burgstein –> Längenfeld
The starting point of this hiking tour is the village center of Längenfeld at the height of Fischbach bridge. The first steps take walkers into the so-called Klamm (gorge) where some challenging altitude meters have to be made towards the hamlet of Brand. You take the forest road behind the church or you try the newly built rocky footpath. After about 40 walking minutes you have conquered the toughest part of this hike, you have finally reached Brand. Upthere you will be rewarded with a wonderful view of Längenfeld located below.
Magnificent vista points accompany you all the way to the mountain hamlet of Burgstein. Shortly before Burgstein you cross the 84 m long suspension bridge,connecting the two sun-kissed balconies of Brand and Burgstein, at about220 m above the valley floor. The view from the steel bridge is the undisputed highlight of this hike. Once in Burgstein, you take the old Burgstein Road (forest trail) down to Längenfeld. In Längenfeld you walk along the Albin Egger-Lienz theme trail and return to the starting point.
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the
train station Ötztal Bahnhof. Afterwards you can travel smoothly and quick with the public transport or our local
taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination. Please find the current bus timetable here:
