Turn-by-turn directions

The walking tour begins near the forest swimming pool, at the Kneipp facility in Lech. It leads upstream along the banks of the river Lech in the direction of Zug. The path is grassy, partly stony and partly changes in width. Soon you reach the fishpond and pass the golf course. Then a path branches off to the right a little uphill. Along the asphalted road the path continues to the water reservoir of Lech and further into the Zugertal valley past the Älpele inn. The route leads along the asphalted road, through the forest until, after the bridge, you return on the signposted path through the Spullerwald forest back to the Kneipp facility.
