The Tour
Short circular hike in Ochsengarten through the forest. On the right side above the river through the forest and after crossing the street on the left side back to the playground.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature on this easy-to-walk circular hiking trail that leads you through the fragrant forest along the picturesque Nederbach. After crossing the road that leads to Kühtai, continue your journey on the other side heading towards Ochsengarten. At the end of this idyllic path, you will find the charming playground at Ochsenbrunnen, a perfect place to relax and end your hike.
How do you find your treasure?
Along the marked route there are small caches (treasure boxes). In each cache there is a sheet with secret letters written on it. Enter all the letters on your treasure map. Only those who have collected all letters can form the solution word. With this solution word you can pick up a gift at the Ochsengarten, Oetz information, or the Ötztal infopoint!
The playground is worth a visit.

Safety guidelines

Directions
Start at the parking lot to the right after the information and hike to the bridge. Walk over the bridge and take a curve towards the forest.
Here you should immediately look for the first cache. It is located on the right side in the forest. Once you have found the cache and noted the letters, you can walk comfortably through the forest. The path is very wide, so a stroller can also be pushed without problems.
Soon you will reach cache two. Watch for the big tree that you can already see from afar. Cache two is also on the right side but not directly on the path. You will have to go a bit into the bushes.
After cache two you will soon come to a junction – please stay to the left here and keep close to the stream (Nederbach). After a short distance, you will get closer to the stream and a wooden bridge follows. But stop, before you cross it, please don't forget to look for cache 3. After putting it back in its place, you now cross the bridge and must immediately cross the main road to the other side. On this side, you walk again through the forest back towards Ochsengarten village. The wide forest path runs near the main road but is still in the forest. Soon you will come to a bench and a small bridge that leads into the forest. Here you look for the last cache to get your treasure.
After cache 4 it’s not far and you arrive at a large forest playground.
At the end, you can pick up your treasure at the Ochsengarten information.
