This idyllic winter hike crosses the vast Leutasch Valley from Klamm to Burggraben, following the scenic Leutascher Ache river (Achweg).
The starting point of this easy walking route is at the small (paid) parking lot P12 “Klamm.” From there, the path heads south to the information point, crosses the main road and the Leutascher Ache, and reaches the walking trail on the south bank. From this point, the hike follows the turquoise blue river, passing through the villages of Platzl and Aue until you reach Kirchplatzl. Along the way, there are plenty of spots to rest and take in the stunning Leutasch Valley landscape, whether at the relaxation areas by the river or at one of the cozy family-run businesses along the route. From Kirchplatzl, the hike continues to Weidach, where you’ll cross the Ache again to reach Ahrn. For those who want to take a scenic lake loop, you can make a detour to nearby Weidachsee (where you can try ice fishing in winter) or enjoy a wellness break at the ErlebnisWelt Alpenbad Leutasch.
Next, cross over to the other side of the valley at Ahrn, continue through Reindlau, cross the Ache again, and follow the winding river through sparkling pine forests. Between Lochlehn and Unterkirchen, the route leaves the river, turning right and leading along the edge of the forest to the final destination of the winter hike in Burggraben. At the cozy Gasthof Mühle, hungry hikers can find a rustic menu with hearty traditional dishes.
To return, you can either take the same route back or catch a bus from the “Leutasch Burggraben Gasthof Brücke” or “Leutasch Burggraben Gasthof Mühle” stops back to the starting point.
Take the bus to Leutasch and get off at the 'Klamm/Vereinshaus' bus stop.
