Aqua DomePhoto: Ötztal
Water is life – but it can also become a threat. Along this adventure route, you dive into the history of floods in Längenfeld. You learn how the Ötztaler Ache and its tributaries have shaped the valley over centuries, which protective measures were taken, and the role faith and the community played. Let yourself be carried away by impressive stories, historical events, and modern solutions – and discover how humans are in constant interaction with nature.
From the Aqua Dome, first follow the Ache to the Fischbach. Then continue walking along the Albin-Egger-Lienz-Promenade, cross the street, and reach the chapel. From there, the rock path leads up to the Brand Alm, where you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of Längenfeld from above.
