Are you looking for a hiking tour that takes you through the magnificent nature of Austria and Germany, as well as through endless, idyllic natural landscapes? Then our long-distance hiking holiday on the Lechweg-Path is just the thing for you. Experience unspoiled nature and hiking fun on the 125 kilometre-long Lechweg-Path. The starting point of this cross-border hiking tour is at the Formarinsee in Lech am Arlberg. From there, the route leads first to Tyrol and finally to the Lech Falls in Allgäu. After eight days in the fresh air, you can re-start your normal life full of vigour.
You walk on easy, well-maintained hiking paths, forest paths and partially also on forest- and gravel roads. For all daily tours a good basic fitness level is required. You always have the option to comfortably cut longer tours short by taking the bus any time. In some parts of the tours some surefootedness is necessary, if required the spectacular suspension bridges can be easily bypassed.
