Mountain hikes Stanzach - Over the suspension bridge

Stanzach / Lechtaler Alpen
Difficulty ratings: easy
Route length: 12.8 km
Duration: 3:15 h

If you have a slight dip on this technically moderate and varied hike, it is probably only due to the 138-metre-long suspension bridge over the fascinating natural river Lech.

Tour character

Nestled between the Allgäu and Lechtal Alps, the Lech meanders its way. You can accompany it for a while on your hike. From Forchach to Stanzach and back again, it is around 12 kilometers on easy, mainly flat paths suitable for baby carriages. The suspension bridge crossing takes a bit of courage, but go ahead, the bridge delivers what it promises!

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 start at the car park behind Haus Sport Fredy and walk in a northerly direction along the wide Lechweg, through shady pine forest and the protected Lech meadows to the suspension bridge in Forchach. Now cross the breathtaking suspension bridge and continue in a southerly direction along the wide, sunny track to Feldele - a beautiful clearing with a romantic hunting lodge.
Your path now takes you back through shady spruce forest, past the Schwarzwasserbrücke bridge and on to the bridge over the Lech. Finally, follow the well-marked Lechweg trail to Stanzach.
