Trail run along some highlights above Längenfeld in the Ötztal, which holds some legendary encounters at the end.
The start is at the Längenfeld sports ground, near the town center. From there you start over the Pestkapelle (Bichlkirche) towards the so-called "Devil's Pulpit" along the Duringsweg to Astlehn and further to the hamlet "Gottsgut." It continues over a rather challenging and steep trail to the Breitlehnalm (not managed). From there, a trail leads along the panoramic path to the Polltalalm and then further to the Hahlkogelhaus. From there it is not far but technically quite demanding to the summit of the Hahlkogel at 2,660 m. The same way leads back, then through the so-called "Polles" to the Pollesalm, from there further to the Alpine guesthouse at Feuerstein. Now on the folklore path, you encounter some eerie figures and get an insight into the legend world of the Ötztal before reaching the valley floor and taking the path south towards the start and end point, the Längenfeld Sports Center.
Author’s recommendation
After a well-deserved stop at the Gasthof Feuersteig, some eerie figures await all runners on the folklore path.
