Arrival by public transport
Holzgau village square
Panoramic views and heart palpitations included!
You hike up to the signpost "Hängebrücke über Gföll" (suspension bridge over Gföll)
to the church, then follow the slightly ascending path to the suspension bridge.
On the other side of the bridge, walk along the flat path in the direction of "Schiggen".
Continue across meadows, wooden footbridges and later along a slightly descending forest path to the "Holzgau" junction. Here you leave the "Lechweg" and walk the last stretch past the Hotel Winkler Hof on the old village road back to your starting point.
This is a rope suspension bridge that spans the wild and romantic Höhenbachtal gorge. It is the highest and longest free pedestrian suspension bridge in Austria.
