Turn-by-turn directions

In front of the forest swimming pool, a signposted path leads along the Lech upstream, past the Kneipp facility through the forest. The path is partly stony, grassy and always leads upstream. Soon you will see the fishpond and golf course on the other side of the river. The path meanders along the Lech through the beautiful alpine country. We pass the Älpele inn and head towards Spullerwald along the asphalted road. After the bridge, the forest path leads slightly uphill and to the left behind the wooden hut, the signposting in the direction of Spullerwald points back to the starting point. If you do not take the path to the left but straight ahead, you will come to Lake Formarinsee.
