The small family round is ideal for exploring the surroundings of Oetz.
Almost 14 kilometers on bike and meadow paths are easily manageable even for young beginner bikers. The start is in Oetz at the beginning of the Ötztal. Sheltered, Oetz lies in a basin at the foot of the 3,008-meter-high Acherkogel. This creates a particularly mild climate here. The route leads northwards, then turns right and follows the forest road. Through the dense forest, you reach the Piburger See. It invites you to take a break. Afterwards, the route descends towards Habichen. At valley level, the Habicher See is located on the right side. This spot is good for a short rest before returning to Oetz (the path to the lake is only accessible on foot - no cycling allowed)
