Längenfeld /
Difficulty ratings: easy
Route length: 540 m
Duration: 0:25 h

A drop of 80 meters and pure power: The Lehner Waterfall in the Ötztal Alps is an important element of the "Längenfeld Power Source" and a natural phenomenon that is bursting with energy.

Tour character

Not keen on climbing? Don't worry! There is a beautiful hiking circuit on moderately difficult mountain trails around the Lehner waterfall. It is 2.5 kilometers short and can be completed in an hour. But there is an even more direct route: from Längenfeld, a well-maintained hiking trail leads to about halfway up the waterfall in around twenty minutes and offers a close-up view of the roaring waters and the climbers scrambling up the rocks on the other side.

Description

Roaring Alpine water cascades down 80 meters right into the deep gorge – formed a couple of million years ago. Pure energy and elemental force cast a spell over hikers and climbers.

The well-maintained hiking trail takes nature aficionados halfway up to the falls, offering double the fun: this is an experience in close touch with nature and water spray as well as a fantastic vantage point overlooking the waterfall‘s climbing area on the opposite part. Benches invite the tired hiker to take a rest or simply watch the cool sportsmen. A wooden platform at the upper end of the route provides great photo scenes. The hiking tour through the shady larch forest is easy and safe as it features a wooden handrail on the steeper sections.

A higher instance guards the trail. At the entrance to the Stations of the Cross walkers stop at Zarrach Chapel and then continue along the 14 wayside shrines to St. Mary‘s Grotto located on top.
