The second stage of the Ötztal Cycling Path (52 km) starts in Oetz and ends in Umhausen. 10 km long and one, two ascents are waiting for you. It's worth it! This stage passes by hidden places and small villages.
The Ötztal Cycle Path features several steep sections and should not be underestimated in this regard.
The path crosses the Ötztaler Bundesstraße multiple times.
BIKE SAFETY RULES
At the end of Oetz, the cycle path runs parallel to the Ötztaler Bundesstraße towards Habichen. Passing through the underpass in Habichen, you have the option to take a short detour to the picturesque Habicher See. Alternatively, you can tackle the steep ascent of the “Tumpener Gstoag” directly. The path leads through a small forested section (Seestall/Grube) before reaching Tumpen. In Tumpen, the route passes by the school and continues toward the Ötztaler Bundesstraße, which you cross, followed by another crossing over the Ötztaler Ache. From here, the ride becomes more relaxed as you roll towards Umhausen, passing the Engelswand rock face, the hamlet of Lehn-Platzl, and the Maria Schnee Chapel.
Enjoy a both comfortable and relaxing train ride to the train station in Ötztal Bahnhof. You get off the train in ÖTZTAL Bahnhof where you change to a public bus or local taxi. The current bus schedule can be found at: http://fahrplan.vvt.at
