Arrival by public transport
Regiobus stop Bach-Church
Breezy heights and a remarkable variety of species.
The Lechweg trail begins at the rest area by the Lech bridge in Bach. Past the nearby church, the path winds its way up to a small forest clearing with the beautiful Seesumpfkapelle chapel.
As soon as you have passed the hamlet, you should plan a ten-minute detour to the Modertal waterfall. The Lech loop winds its way through the shady forest to the Gibler Alm, a popular hiking destination and ideal place to enjoy a break.
It doesn't take long before a deep and narrow valley opens up, into which you descend along a path. With the Bernhardsbach and Balschtebach streams tumbling down into the valley, this is one of the most attractive sections of this Lech loop. At the end of an ascent, signs point the way to Elbigenalp. The trail takes you above the village, passes through a forest clearing with the Schweineben Alpe (no refreshments available) and rejoins the Lechweg between the Scheidbach stream and the village of Köglen. Elbigenalp is now passed again on the other side of the river,
as well as a rest area with information about the Adler Trail.
