DESCENT VIA THE PLAGUE CHAPEL IS NOT POSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT DUE TO STORM DAMAGE
The Four Lakes Trail above Längenfeld is characterized by wonderfully flowing mountain trails, great views and, of course, the four mountain lakes, each of which is a jewel in its own right. Starting from the sports center in Längenfeld, however, there is a total of 1,600 meters of altitude to conquer, which makes the trail quite challenging.
Please observe any possible trail closures. In the summer months, many hikers and mountaineers are also on this route, please show mutual consideration. This is a high alpine trail run with the corresponding alpine risks.
Alpine emergency call: 140

The starting point for this scenically outstanding trail run is directly at the sports center in Längenfeld near the town center. You start over the new bridge across the Ötztaler Ache towards the hamlet "Lehn". From there, follow a rather steep hiking trail along the Lehner Waterfall towards the Stabele Alm. After passing this, you continue to the Leckalm and the first lake, the so-called Plattach Lake at 2,500m elevation. From there, follow the markings and signs to the highest point of this route, the Felderjöchl at 2,616m. Then follows a descent to the 2nd lake, the "White Lake" at 2,546m. The trail continues to the Lower Spitzig Lake up to the 4th lake of this round, the Hauer Lake at 2,383m. Through the Hauerkar, it goes downhill along the stream until you reach the Pest Chapel (Bichl Church) at 1,206m. From there, it is only a stone's throw back to the starting point, the sports center.
Travel comfortably and safely by train. The final stop or exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you travel conveniently and quickly by public transport or local taxi companies to the middle of the valley in the municipality of Längenfeld. From the "Kirche" stop, follow the signs to the "Sports Center" which is about 200 meters (10 min) from the bus stop. The current bus timetable is available at: http://fahrplan.vvt.at
Free parking spaces are available directly at the sports center.
