From Lech to the Formarinlake
The long-distance hiking trail describes the route from the source of the river Lech to the fall in Füssen. It is definitely worthwhile to hike the first stage in a different direction. This leads from the centre of Lech to Lechquelle on the Formarinlake. The most beautiful place in Austria 2015 is therefore the goal of this hike.
The hiking trail leads you from Lech to the wooden footbridges directly at the confluence of Formarinbach and Spullerbach, the place where the river Lech was born as a brook. At the end of this wonderful hike, the Formarin lake with its bright blue is waiting for the hikers as a rewarding day destination. The blue local bus Lech leads from there back to the hiking village.

The tour starts in the hiking village of Lech. From there it goes directly to the already mighty mountain stream into the district Zug. Further and further into the valley, the "Leading Quality Trail of Europe" certified long distance hiking trail Lechweg leads to Älpele, a small alpine pasture with refreshment facilities. This is followed by the most beautiful part of the Lechweg: The wooden footbridges directly at the confluence of Formarinbach and Spullerbach, the place where the river Lech was born as a brook. The Lechweg continues along stones and buzzels past cascades and bubbling springs over lush green mountain meadows to its beginning, marked by a bronze Capricorn statue. At the end of this wonderful hike, the Formarin lake with its bright blue is waiting for the hikers as a rewarding day destination. The blue local bus Lech leads from there back to the hiking village.
