Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

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.
