Gravelbike Tour Ötztal Lite with Stuibenfall view

our Description The starting and finishing point of this round tour is Ötztal train station. From here, follow the cycle path gently uphill to Oetz. Continue riding deeper into the valley on the well-maintained trail until you reach Umhausen. In the village center (Mure car park), head towards the church, turn left before the bridge into Sandgasse, and follow the Horlachbach stream to a junction. Take the middle road and stay on Sandgasse. At the end of the village, turn left onto a path that soon turns into a gravel track and continue until you reach Stuböbele. Leave your bike at the bridge and walk the last few meters to the impressive Stuibenfall waterfall.

Return Route Begin by cycling back to Umhausen. At the third intersection, turn left onto Mühlweg and follow it until you reach the L238 road. Turn left here and continue to the B186 main road. Turn left again and follow the B186 to the Köfels junction. Cross the bridge on the right and immediately turn right again to rejoin the cycle path. This scenic section leads through a peaceful forest almost back to Umhausen. Here, leave the cycle path and turn left onto the road (do not stay on the bike path). At the village exit, turn right, pass the football field, cross the road, and follow the climb until you rejoin the cycle path. Continue down the valley to Östen, then turn right towards Engelswand. After the fountain at the next junction, turn left towards the Ache river, then right at the following fountain to get back on the cycle path towards Habichen. From Habichen, turn left onto the familiar route and, in Kohlstatt, take the left turn onto the winding forest road leading up to Seejöchl. A short stop at the Seejöchlblick viewing platform is highly recommended for its stunning view of Piburger See. Afterwards, ride on to Piburg, follow the road via Haderlehn to Sautens, and continue straight through the village into Mühlgasse. Before the swimming pool, turn left, then rejoin the cycle path at the recycling center. Follow it to Brunau, continue along the bike trail, and at the next junction turn right towards the main road. At the next two roundabouts, take the second exit each time and follow Ambergerstraße back to Ötztal train station.
