LÄNGENFELD -> Camping Ötztal -> Dorfer-Au -> Au -> Winklen -> Lehner-Au -> LÄNGENFELD

Map & elevation profile

LÄNGENFELD -> Camping Ötztal -> Dorfer-Au -> Au -> Winklen -> Lehner-Au -> LÄNGENFELD

On this hike, you follow the Ötztaler Ache initially downstream and later upstream. The starting point may vary according to preference. However, we start in Längenfeld at the campsite. In front of the campsite, a path leads right between the tennis court and a small stream up to a bridge. After crossing, you stay on this path until you reach the road to Oberried. Now, cross this road and walk alongside the Ache to the hamlet Au. Here, the bridge is crossed again, and on the other river side you return to Längenfeld. Along the entire route, you enjoy the tranquility and a wonderful view of the Ötztal mountain world.

Author's tip

Since the path is mostly flat, it is also suitable for wheelchair users and prams (forest path).
