SautensPhoto: Ötztal Tourismus , Ötztal
Over 3000 years ago, massive parts of the Tschirgant fell into the valley, blocking the outlet of the Ötztal. Today, the area is a small, originally preserved natural oasis in the otherwise densely populated Tyrolean Inntal. The largely forested area offers quiet places to relax, rich biodiversity, and is entwined with legends and myths. Two circular hiking trails lead through this mystical landscape in the Sautner Forchet, passing exciting cultural points (lime kiln, dwelling cave, ...) and some informational boards about the animal kingdom and geology.
Start at the Kreuzkapelle Sautens (sports field) and then follow the black markers. Walking time 3 hours
