Now follow this and cross the Ötztaler Ache on the Piburger Bridge. Immediately after the bridge, turn left towards the Achwirt restaurant. Past the Bike Center, the gravel path "Medinger Weg" leads back along the river to Sautens. Just below the village, cross a wooden bridge (Sautner Steeg) again to the west bank. The ascent back to the district Pirchhof is a bit steep and is done in switchbacks.
