Very beautiful trail running route along 4 different, scenically beautiful lakes above Längenfeld in the Ötztal.
THE DESCENT VIA THE PEST CHAPEL IS CURRENTLY NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO STORM DAMAGE
The starting point for this scenically outstanding trail run is directly at the sports center in Längenfeld near the town center. You start over the new bridge across the Ötztaler Ache towards the hamlet "Lehn". From there, follow a rather steep hiking trail along the Lehner Waterfall towards the Stabele Alm. After passing this, you continue to the Leckalm and the first lake, the so-called Plattach Lake at 2,500m elevation. From there, follow the markings and signs to the highest point of this route, the Felderjöchl at 2,616m. Then follows a descent to the 2nd lake, the "White Lake" at 2,546m. The trail continues to the Lower Spitzig Lake up to the 4th lake of this round, the Hauer Lake at 2,383m. Through the Hauerkar, it goes downhill along the stream until you reach the Pest Chapel (Bichl Church) at 1,206m. From there, it is only a stone's throw back to the starting point, the sports center.
The Stabele Alm is very popular for its Tyrolean cuisine.
