Long-distance hiking from Vorarlberg to Bavaria

An exceptional nature experience awaits during our hiking holiday along the Lechweg Trail: Along roughly 125km you accompany the glistening river Lech from its source near Lake Formarinsee situated in the Austrian town Lech am Arlberg, through one of Europe‘s last wild river sceneries, all the way to the Lechfall-waterfall located in Füssen in the Bavarian Allgäu-region. En route you discover not only the untamed and rugged beauty of the border-crossing Alpine regions, but you also hike across one of Europe’s largest ibex colonies and marvel at a waterfall, which as if by magic disappears each year and rises anew. You walk across the spectacular suspension bridge for pedestrians and marvel at King Louis‘ palaces. The magical turquoise of the river Lech and its thundering roar are your constant companion

Highlights:

• Sparkling Formarinsee
• Cross the longest pedestrian bridge in Austria
• Mystical waterfall: only active from 23 April to 11 November every year. The rest of the time there is no waterfall to be found here.
