At the beginning, the trail ran along a rooty, almost jungle-like path through shady forests, constantly undulating down to the Lech River. Here, the turquoise blue of the Lech River was particularly intense.
Afterward, we hiked steadily uphill against the Lech River, enjoying repeated, magnificent views

For the first 4 km, we hiked along the Lech River.
The next 4 km or so climbed almost 500 meters along the switchbacks of the Old Lech Valley Road, a gravel forest road. At first, the walk through the forest was quite relaxed. Here, the Lech River is wild, at its best. It bubbles, gurgles, and roars between

The trail was very varied again today, which motivated us to keep going.
First, a steep climb back to the panoramic high trail, which we had left yesterday for our accommodation. We passed the Doser Waterfall, ventured through a herd of cows, had to crawl under electric fences and carefully step over

We began by hiking through idyllic meadowland – with the mountains in sight, along the turquoise Lechsee lake and entered a beautiful forest. Then we walked for miles on gravel paths, but also at a relaxed pace, directly along the Lech river. A short detour to the suspension bridge in Forchach provided

Today was more of a walk. Theoretically, yesterday's stage and today's are one stage. However, since we had trouble finding accommodation over Pentecost, we split this stage into two. Ultimately, it's much nicer this way because both days are less strenuous. It rained a little this morning, but when

A glance out the window, another check of the weather app, and it became clear: today was going to be a rainy day. We considered shortening the stage and simply hiking along the Lech River through the villages to Ehenbichl. However, the Lechweg often makes a larger loop to offer hikers great views, as

Today, Laura and I started our dream hike for this year: the Lechweg. Officially, the Lechweg begins at the source of the Lech River at Formarinsee in Austria and ends at the Lechfall in Füssen. We're hiking the Lechweg in reverse, so today's start was in Füssen. It's a delightful stage – simply fantastic

Very nice! Are there mosquitoes? And lots of people? ;-)

Due to the weather forecast, we went with the flow today for once. From Formarinsee, we hiked through alpine meadows and were delighted by the many beautiful flowers that only bloom in alpine terrain, such as gentian.
We even spotted three marmots.
There was nothing bubbling here, just scree and the occasional
