The Tour
OETZ -> bike path to Haiming -> Silz -> Schlierenzau -> Roppen -> Sautens -> Piburg -> Habichen -> bike path Umhausen -> Stuibenfallblick -> bike path back to OETZ
The starting point is the central parking lot in Oetz. The route begins very gently, always slightly downhill, along the bike path to Haiming, from where it continues to Silz. From there, the route leads left over a bridge to Simmering and from there back on the other side of the Inn to Roppen. From here, the route becomes somewhat more challenging and climbs to Sautens. From Sautens to Haderlehn, the road becomes steeper and continues just above Piburg. Followed by a rapid descent along the road from Piburg back to Oetz. Shortly before the bridge, the route turns right and follows a forest road, with a moderate incline, gently through the forest and open fields until it joins the bike path again. Follow this to Umhausen. The starting point of the route is at the Mure parking lot, in the village center of Umhausen. From there, cycle towards the church and turn left at the bridge into Sandgasse. In the village, follow alongside the village brook until you reach a crossroads, where you choose the middle of the three streets. Follow the street until you reach the fields. Here, you take the left street and cycle leisurely along the paved path, which soon turns into a gravel road. At the bridge, leave your bike and walk the last few meters to the foot of the waterfall. Now you can fully enjoy the unique natural spectacle.
