Start of the Lech Cycle Path (Lechradweg) in Steeg
Highlight • Cycleway
The Lech Cycle Route through the Lech Valley shows you the beauty of one of the last original river landscapes in the Alps.
The cycle route begins in the town of Steeg in the upper Lech Valley and follows the course of the Lech to Reutte and further into Germany. The Lech Cycle Route runs along mostly asphalted field paths and side roads, slightly descending through the valley characterized by green meadows. It passes the towns of Hägerau, Holzgau, Stockach, Bach, Elbigenalp, Häselgehr and leads to Elmen. On bridges along the Lech, it often changes sides of the valley. There are restaurants and rest areas in the villages. Again and again it goes through alluvial forests along the Lech, there is a constant change between natural and cultural landscapes until Elmen.
There is a slight climb over a gravel road. From the elevated position you can see the junction of the Hornbach Valley near Vorderhornbach and the beautiful floodplain at the mouth of the Hornbach. Past Stanzach and Forchach, the route continues to Weißenbach am Lech: This section is particularly beautiful because the Lech is not regulated here and has formed an exceptionally wild natural landscape, protected as the Tiroler Lech Nature Park. Gravel banks, alluvial forest, small islands and thus habitat for rare animals and plants form one of the last original river landscapes in the Alps. A few kilometers further downstream is Reutte, the main town of the Lech Valley, where the Lech cycle path meets the Via Claudia Augusta cycle path.
