A uni­que natu­re expe­ri­ence awaits you on our hiking tour along the Lech Trail: on around 125 km, you accom­pa­ny the glis­tening Lech from its source near the For­ma­rin­see lake in Lech am Arl­berg in Aus­tria, through one of the last wild river land­scapes in Euro­pe, to the Lech Falls in Füs­sen in the Bava­ri­an All­gäu. On your way, you will not only dis­co­ver the unta­med and rug­ged beau­ty of the cross-bor­der Alpi­ne regi­ons, you will also hike through one of the lar­gest ibex colo­nies in Euro­pe and mar­vel at a water­fall that magi­cal­ly dries up and springs anew every year. You cross a spec­ta­cu­lar pede­stri­an sus­pen­si­on bridge and admi­re King Lud­wi­g’s cast­les. The magi­cal tur­quoi­se of the Lech river and its thun­de­rous roar are your con­stant companions.
