    The hike towards Otzi Village/Umhausen bathing lake starts at the Mure parking lot. Walking through the village, the path leads up to the right in front of the Kneipphäusl into the Tauferberg forest. At the top a flat path branches off to the left - you are on the Waalweg. Right next to the flat high path runs a small stream that used to irrigate the fields. You will also find one or two waterwheels here. Follow the path until you reach the normal road, then turn left downhill (Umhausen village) to hike around Umhausen on the Steppsteig. Just before, you might encounter the Stuiben Nannele. Enjoy the idyllic view of Umhausen. Along the panorama boards on the Steppsteig you will learn more about the forest and its flora as well as its cultural special features. At the end of the path you reach the Vivea Hotel and then hike down behind it to a chapel, to then return to the starting point.

    How do you find your treasure?

    Along the route there are small caches (treasure boxes). In each cache there is a clue noted on a letter. Enter this letter in the treasure map. Only after you have found all the caches and formed the solution word, can the treasure chest be opened at one of the nearest Ötztal Tourism information points.

    Author’s recommendation

    You are welcome to include the Wienerssteig in your treasure hunt (at your own risk).

    The hiking trail runs from the Vivea Hotel towards Farst, where there are also small "treasures" hidden, which however do not belong to the "Stuibenfall Runde" treasure hunt.
