Itinerary
You'll arrive at your first hotel in Steeg or the surrounding area and enjoy the rest of the day here.
Hotel (example): Styrolerhof Hotel & Wirtshaus
On the Jochweg trail, you'll walk leisurely along the Lech River until you reach the beautiful village of Holzgau, characterised by its colourful painted houses. Here, a special highlight awaits you as you cross one of Europe's longest and most spectacular pedestrian suspension bridges.
Continue through flowering meadows and forest paths to Elbigenalp, the geographical centre of the Lechtal Valley and the heart of traditional wood crafts.
Hotel (example): Traditionsgasthof Stern
A picturesque nature reserve leads you to Häselgehr, where we highly recommend visiting the beautiful parish church with its opulent interior before continuing uphill to the Doser waterfall. There are many legends and stories surrounding this mysterious natural phenomenon. Via a high path with stunning views of the ‘wild river’ you'll reach Stanzach, a quiet village set in the centre of a stunning mountain world.
Hotel (example): Föhrenhof
Today the River Lech shows its wild side once again: hike through a rugged river landscape, past Lechzopf to Forchach, where another suspension bridge beckons brave hikers to cross it. Over the Johannesbrücke bridge and through the Moosberg nature reserve you hike to Weissenbach, cross the Rotlech River and reach the quiet little town of Höfen via small paths along the river.
Hotel (example): Die Lilie
Via the panoramic trail, you'll reach a beautiful viewpoint high up at the Costaries Chapel. Pass the glittering Frauensee lake and continue into the ‘Pflacher Au’. Here you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the river wetlands from the Bird Tower, a 20 metre high wooden structure. Soon you can already see the castles of Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein in front of you in the distance! The impressive Lechfall waterfall finally marks the end of the Lechweg trail. In Füssen, the final treat awaits when you visit the royal castles.
Hotel (example): Hirsch
Your journey is now over. You will leave the hotel during the morning.
