After the post garage we cross the Lech, turn right and walk straight on until we reach the road. We go uphill and at the next junction turn left uphill. The steeper climb leads to Oberlech and past the gypsum holes. Especially in summer a wonderful geological highlight. The tour is varied and sometimes challenging. We continue to Grubenalpe, downhill to Kriegeralpe and over Rudalpe back to Lech to Rüfiplatz.

Turn-by-turn directions

Behind the post garage we cross the Lech, turn right and walk straight on until we reach the road. We walk along the road and take the path uphill at the next junction on the left. The steeper climb leads to the hamlet of Oberlech. On an asphalt road we go to Tannegg to the grill place, past the gypsum holes and to the Grubenalpe. The tour is varied and sometimes challenging. On the wide gravel path we walk downhill to the Kriegeralpe and over the Rudalpe back to Lech to the Rüfiplatz. The way is then again asphalted and leads partially somewhat steeper back to Lech. At Rüfiplatz we turn left and walk down the river Lech to the post garage.
