Hiking
On the three and a half kilometer long vital path in Holzgau you will get to know the five elements of Kneipp's health theory. Information boards along the way and some stations provide information for anyone who wants to know more. And by the way, beautiful panoramic views and one of the longest suspension bridges in Austria await you.
The start is in Holzgau, which is also considered the pearl of the Lech Valley due to the many lavishly painted houses. You stroll through the pretty town and start the ascent on the outskirts. Your path leads you across a mountain meadow and you will soon have great views of the Lech Valley. After almost a kilometer, you can take a breather at a small refuge and enjoy the view.
Soon afterwards you will reach the 200.5 meter long Holzgau suspension bridge. It stretches over the Höhenbach Gorge at a height of more than 100 meters and is therefore not for people with a severe fear of heights. With a view of the valley, you continue hiking along the mountainside and over a picturesque mountain meadow landscape. Again and again, benches along the way invite you to take short breaks. Finally your path leads you downhill again and through the forest back to Holzgau. You can end your hike with a stop in one of the many restaurants or cafés in town.
