Hiking tour to the Wannenkopf
A sunny walk that can also be done in late autumn.
An adventurous hike through the picturesque landscape of Lech, guaranteed with an experience factor. You start at the hiking starting point at the Rüfiplatz and take the hiking bus in the direction of Oberlech with the terminal station Schlössle. Go uphill from the lookout point Tannegg and turn right downhill over the bridge to the Gaisbühealpe. Uphill over the Auenfeldsattel, you follow the hiking trail on the right and find an alpine path just before Bürstegg. If you like, you can rest in Bürstegg or continue walking past the barn, keep left and go uphill to the head of the tub. The steep serpentines downhill lead you to Warth and you can take the hiking bus back to Lech. Numerous rest stops invite you to linger and enjoy the culinary delights.
