Lechweg – 2. Leg

Directions

The walk begins at the hike starting point in front of the post office. Follow the ”Bodenalpe” trail described above until you reach a narrow track that branches off sharply to the left towards (1) Boden alpe. Stay on the wide forest path that takes you above the ”Lech canyon” to a (2) small wooden bridge across the Lech. From here, continue upstream, first along a wagon road and later along a narrow paved road that leads to (3) Warth town centre. The hiking bus will take you back to Lech am Arlberg from here. If you enjoyed the Lech path, you can continue along it all the way to Füssen im Allgäu.

Suggestions

Special features: The path can also be walked in the opposite direction.

Sights: Warth town centre – the parish church St. Sebastian and the Walserhus house are impressive testimonies to the Walser arts and crafts.

Refreshment stops: Bodenalpe, restaurants in Warth and Lech am Arlberg.

Equipment
