Turn-by-turn directions

The start of the jogging round is in front of the post office in Lech. Opposite is the church of Lech. The scenic walking round leads up the Lech river until we reach the Rüfiplatz and after the Hypo Bank choose the steep path uphill. Following the signs we turn left after about 50 meters and reach a crossroads. To the right, the path leads to Wiesele or Rüfikopf. To the left it goes briefly uphill on the Flühenweg, to the grill place above the local centre of Lech. At the foot of the Rüfikopf the path leads along towards Oberstubenbach. The views of Lech and the surrounding mountains are fantastic. Soon the path crosses a wide forest road, we go downhill on the left and then turn right in a sharp bend. At the next junction we turn left again and are now in Oberstubenbach. Through the district, we cross a bridge and follow the path past the sport.park.lech until we reach the large car park. At the car park in the direction of the town centre we reach our hiking starting point again in a few minutes at the post garage.
