Description

Easy, family-friendly discovery route through Umhausen and its hamlets!

Map & elevation profile

Easy, family-friendly discovery route through Umhausen and its hamlets!

Umhausen is located roughly in the middle of the Ötztal at an altitude of 1,031 meters. Here the valley widens, allowing meadows and fields to spread out. The easy circular route connects all the sights in the Umhausen region. Just under 140 meters of elevation pose no problem even for less trained bikers. The start is at the Mure parking lot in the village center of Umhausen. From here, follow the Ötztal cycle path (No. 11) toward Längenfeld. Passing through the village of Umhausen, you reach the Ötztaler Ache, cross it, and then turn right. Through the overgrown forest, follow the forest road to the Leiersbach district. Passing houses, cross the Ötztaler Ache again and reach the football pitch. Cycle up to the federal road, which must also be crossed, and past the two houses. Now it goes uphill. However, soon you cycle right again toward Umhausen and follow the cycle path back to the starting point.
